The people of Yamfo became very angry at the police last Friday. They tried to burn down the police station. The army had to come with guns. They fired shots in the air to make everyone go home. By afternoon, things became quiet, but soldiers stayed around just to make sure.
The trouble started when police went after someone they thought sold drugs. They caught a young man during their search. Many say the police beat him very hard after they caught him. They took him to Yamfo Health Center, where he died. When friends heard about his death, they became furious and ran to attack the police building.
Local man Adams Ibrahim saw what happened. He works selling lottery tickets nearby. He explained how young people rushed to the station after hearing the news. No one at the health center wanted to talk about how the man died. Police bosses moved all officers away from Yamfo station after the clash. The army keeps watch over the town to stop more problems.
