Since they are there to maintain peace, the troubled police officers are begging to be removed from Bawku since the locals do not want it.
One of the officers wrote on WhatsApp, “We are in a war zone.”
The atrocity will be in a severe situation following the police’s pullout from the Bawku outskirts.
