Two shops belonging to Nigerian businessmen have been vandalized by the youth in Wa during a protest.

They believe kidnapping activities is rampant in Nigeria and the Nigerians may have a hand in the current incident of kidnappings and suspected ritualist activities in the Wa township.

The youth of Wa in the Upper West Region earlier today staged a demonstration amidst burning of lorry tyres to register their displeasure following another suspected kidnapping in the Municipality.

Wa and its environs have been bedeviled with kidnapping and killings over the past few months.

9 persons have been reportedly kidnapped with four of them killed and parts of their bodies removed between 2021 and September this year.

The deaths include that of a 60-year-old man who was mysteriously murdered over the week.

The youth before embarking on the demonstration besieged the Wa Naa’s palace to register their displeasure over recent happenings.

Police in Wa used tear gas to disperse the angry mob.

The Upper West Regional Security Council Thursday, September 15, issued a statement underlining measures to deal with the surge in criminal activities in the Wa Municipality after a stakeholder engagement was organised by the police administration.
