Protesters in Tamale are unhappy about the recall of a special police unit. The team, called the Black Maria, was brought to the Northern Region.
They were deployed last year because there were many robberies and crimes. The presence of the police unit seemed to help reduce these activities.
Residents in Tamale say that crime has gone down since the team arrived. They feel safer with the unit operating in the region.
Now that the unit has been recalled, people are worried that crime will increase again. They want the police to keep the special operations team in Tamale.
The youth gathered to make their voices heard. They believe the police unit is important for keeping the community safe.
This is a special unit from the Inspector General of Police.
Details about why the team was recalled have not been fully shared.
