officers in the Sawla District of the Northern Region have threatened to resign due to the activities of armed robbers in the area.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIf we are not transferred immediately from this district by the authorities, we will be forced to resign,\u201d one of the police officers, who pleaded anonymity, said.<\/p>\n<p>According to the police officers, some suspected armed robbers were arrested and transported to the regional capital in Tamale last year but they were all released later.<\/p>\n<p>They have all returned to the district to threaten the officers and residents.<\/p>\n<p>Recently, some police officers were allegedly attacked by residents of Kporiju, a community in the district when they tried to effect arrest.<\/p>\n<p>They were said to have been hit with sticks.<\/p>\n<p>The irate residents also removed their clothes and seized their raffle.<\/p>\n<p>They allegedly removed a wedding ring of one of the police officers, took their two phones and a bunch of keys.<\/p>\n<p>According to sources, police officers posted to the deprived area lack logistics to boost their work.<\/p>\n<p>They said the lawless armed robbers have become law onto themselves.<\/p>\n<p><!-- uploaded by: 38 updated by: -1 --><\/p>\n<p><!-- Start of html generated by this->footer()
