Members of the Kandahar youth group in the Northern regional capital, Tamale, have attacked and torched a local radio station.

XYZ News' regional Correspondent, Kizito Abagoame says the attack on Radio Justice was in protest to on-air discussions about the killing of a young man at Aboabo in a suspected reprisal attack.

The Kandahar boys are suspected to have killed the young man in vengeance to the killing of one of their members over the weekend.

There is no news of any major injury to workers of the station but several properties, including vehicles, have been destroyed.

Kizito Abagoame reports that residents in the area are gripped with fear following the recent disturbances and killings.
