The Northern Regional Police Command has commenced
investigation into the alleged assault on the
headmaster of Nyohini Junior High School Block B
and two others in the Tamale Metropolis last
Thursday by some unidentified men.

This comes three days after various teacher unions
in the metropolis boycotted academic activities
and petitioned the Metro Education Directorate and
the police to ensure that the perpetrators are
apprehended and punished.

The Northern Regional Police Crime Officer,

the Daily Graphic said the headteacher reported
the attack on his office to the police and they
had since begun a manhunt for the suspects.

He indicated that the police were working very
hard to fish out the perpetrators, noting that
“we trying to identify those people and then ask
the headteacher and also get members of the
community as well to assist in investigation.”
