Northern Regional Minister condemns police, military clashes in Tamale 

Northern Region Minister Salifu Saeed has condemned the 'nasty' clash in Tamale between police and military personnel on Wednesday, May 16, 2018.

His condemnation follows shortly when soldiers went berserk attacking police and residents with impunity.

This attacks came on the heels of the beginning of Ramadan with security and religious heads preaching peace in Tamale.

Dozens of prowling security personnel from the police and military, turned the Tamale metropolis into a battlefield, firing, whipping and pummeling each other in the full glare of civilians. According to reports.

The military men the report said, did not understand why one of their men will be arrested by the police and be interrogated over an alleged act of assault.

Mr. Salifu Saeed described the incident as shameful and an indictment on the Regional Commanders who appear to have lost control over their men.

He has asked the heads of Interior and Defence Ministries to transfer the regional commanders if they can no longer control their men on the ground.

Also the Deputy Defence Minister Derek Oduro in an interview with an Accra based FM "Joy News"  described the incident as “ugly” and “uncalled for.”
