I saw them. They came to me; about three of them came to me asking me to give my money to them," one of the victims told Joy News.“They actually wanted to rape a certain lady because we overheard her saying she is bleeding. But they considered the nursing mothers and asked to go and sit down and take care of their children. I was harassed seriously,” another woman said.Northern Regional Police have confirmed incident.The regional commander DCOP George Tuffuor said they have begun investigations.
