Military Brutality in Kukua: Nine residents hospitalized after assault

The victims, aged between 19 and 50, claim they were dragged from their homes and assaulted with sticks and wires, suffering severe injuries, including broken bones.

The military reportedly stormed the community in response to an earlier attack on a commercial bus along the Tamale-Walewale Road.
