Youth in Tamale have marched to voice their disapproval following the recall of the police Special Operations Team. This team is commonly known as the Black Maria.
The officers were originally deployed to the Northern Region last year. Their mission was to address an increase in robberies and other criminal activities.
Residents believe the presence of the Special Operations Team had a positive impact. They state that crime rates decreased while the team was active in the region.
The decision to recall the team has caused concern among some community members. They fear that crime may increase again without the team's presence.
Details on the exact reasons for the team's recall were not immediately available from police officials.
