Rampaging soldiers in Burkina Faso are said to be attacking Ghanaian traders at the Ghana-Burkina Faso border.<\/p>\n
The soldiers allegedly robbed the traders of cash possessions, Monday evening, Joy News has learnt.<\/p>\n
It follows a mutiny by the soldiers in protest against unpaid housing allowance by the Burkinabe government.<\/p>\n
The government has declared a state of emergency to manage the state of insecurity in the country, but the soldiers have turned their anger on other nationals.<\/p>\n
Joy News\u2019 Joseph Osei reported that calm has returned to places like Dakola and Poh which are close to the Ghana\/Burkina Faso border.<\/p>\n
The soldiers, he said, were moving from one community to the other terrorising the residents.<\/p>\n
According to him, so serious were the attacks that CEPS officials at the Ghana border had to vacate their post.<\/p>\n
He said Ghana\u2019s Ambassador to Burkina Faso fell victim to the attacks after he had his car seized by the rampaging soldiers.<\/p>\n
The soldiers, he explained, had just returned from Ivory Coast on a peace keeping mission but have been denied several amounts of money promised them by their government.<\/p>\n
