The youth attacked the police for allegedly killing one of their colleagues

Police fire tear gas as angry youth charge on them in Tema
The police in Tema resorted to the firing of gas
on angry youth in an area called U-Town at Tema
New Town during a stand-off between the youth and
the police Tuesday morning.

The youth attacked the police for allegedly
killing one of their colleagues last night.

A local reporter, Henry Budu Arthur told Onua
FM’s Yen Nsempa on Tuesday that a police patrol
team yesterday shot and killed a suspected armed
robber in the area.

The youth claimed the suspect was not an armed
robber and therefore mounted a fierce attack on
the police, which the police responded with tear
gas.

The tension in the area is rising, Henry observed,
compelling schools around to close down as
vehicular traffic continue to build up.

Some main roads have been blocked by the angry
youth who have broken bottles, the reporter said.

Henry said some people have been injured in the
process have been rushed to hospital.

Unconfirmed report suggests that some kids who
inhaled the tear gas have collapsed.
