Armed policemen and allied security personnel have been deployed on the streets and homes of President John Mahama and the Deputy Minister for Lands and Natural Resources, Sulemana Yusif in Bole, Savannah Region, following agitations by the youth of the town over the nomination of Abdulai Mahmoud as MCE for Bole.

The angry youth who have been burning spent tyres on the streets of the Bole township, and stormed the district assembly hall, have threatened to attack Sulemana Yusif, who is also the Member of Parliament, and other leaders for their alleged role in the nomination of Abdulai Mahmoud, a teacher.

Some of the angry youth who spoke to Adom News claimed their rejection of the nominee was based on the fact that he does not come from the area or vote in the constituency.

They also told Adom News correspondent Rebecca Natomah that they will resist the nomination until he is changed, since he was not among names officially announced as candidates.

The agitated youth have however, dispersed after being spoken to by the security agents.
