Lawmakers in Ghana are demanding an investigation into alleged military brutality against the youth of Garu, in the north-east of the country.
Soldiers are alleged to have raided the community yesterday in what appears to be a reprisal attack following an assault on some national security intelligence officers deployed there to fight terrorism.
Parliament representatives for Garu and Tempane constituencies, who are pushing for the investigation, condemned the attacks and are calling for the immediate withdrawal of the military from the area.
The legislators also want the young people who were arrested to be released and those injured in the process compensated by the government.
