Two police officers have been injured protecting\u00a0nomadic Fulani herdsmen from angry\u00a0residents of Sokode Ando in the Ho Municipality of the Volta Region.<\/p>\n

According to Citi News’<\/strong> Volta Regional Correspondent, King Norbert Akpablie, there were clashes between the Fulani herdsmen and the Sokode Ando residents today [Wednesday], after they accused the herdsmen of\u00a0killing a local resident\u00a0on a farm two weeks ago.<\/p>\n

\"Sokode<\/a><\/p>\n

The angry residents, wielding cutlasses and guns, have threatened to drive out all Fulani herdsmen out of the community.<\/p>\n

They have also constructed roadblocks to check cars for Fulani herdsmen.<\/p>\n

The police tried to intervene in the situation to protect some of the Fulani herdsmen, but this didn\u2019t go down well with the locals, who they attacked the police officers.<\/p>\n

One of the injured policemen sustained stab wounds, whilst three police rifles were also seized, and are still in the possession of the locals.<\/p>\n

Citi News<\/strong>\u00a0King\u00a0Norbert indicated that, a mediation team has since been sent by the Ho Municipal Assembly to engage with the locals, as they threatened to\u00a0hurt anyone who attempts to retrieve the guns.<\/p>\n

Norbert added that, some police personnel from Anyrawase,\u00a0also in the Volta Region, were also attacked after trying to rescue some other Fulani herdsmen under threat from locals.<\/p>\n

“The police officers were attacked, their phones were seized and they were forced to abandon their cars in some bushes. Attempts are being made to tow the car” Norbert stated.<\/p>\n

He added that, a police reinforcement has been dispatched from the Volta Regional Police Command to restore order.<\/p>\n
