Tamale youth vandalise metro office, loot food items from warehouse

Chaos erupted in Tamale after some youth vandalised the Tamale Metropolitan Assembly premises and looted food items from a warehouse.

The incident occurred moments after the Presidential Candidate of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), Dr Mahamudu Bawumia, conceded defeat in the 2024 presidential election to the flag bearer of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), John Dramani Mahama.

According to eyewitnesses, the youth, wearing NDC-branded T-shirts stormed the assembly and damaged some property and carted food supplies reportedly intended for community distribution.

 

Some of the youth claimed the food items were meant for farmers but were allegedly hoarded by the management of the metropolis for personal use.
