Victims of Tamale shooting incident call for actions against police officers

Residents of Tamale are calling for action to be taken against the police for shooting indiscriminately at protesters at premises of Tamale District Court on Monday where over a dozen people sustained various degrees of injuries.

Over 14 people including, police officers were wounded at the Tamale District Court when police open fire at protesters in the early hours of Monday in Tamale, the Northern regional capital.

This comes after the youth suspected that a man standing trial over the sales of illicit drugs in the region, was to be freed by the Tamale District Court.

Some of the victims told Metro TV in an interview that the police acted “unprofessionally” by shooting indiscriminately into the protesters.

They are therefore calling on the relevant authorities to sanction the police officers involved in the incident.
