Peacefm�s correspondent in Tamale, Kwabena Ntow reports that before the soldiers carried out the operation, they had made several announcement for the people to remove the obstacles they had illegally created, but was never done. According to him, when they soldiers arrived in areas where such obstacles were sited, all the men fled and left their wives and children behind. �When we got to places where the illegal ramps had been constructed, the men run and only ladies were left behind. The soldiers ordered the ladies to dismantle the unauthorized ramps and after they had done that, they were made to fetch water and clean the roads by scrubbing like one does in a bathhouse�, he said.
