The Northern Regional Police Command has launched a manhunt for a couple who violated the Imposition of Restrictions Act.
The Northern Regional Crime Officer, Supt. Kwabena Otuo Acheampong, told DGN Online that they are seeking a bench warrant for the couple who are on the run.
According to him, efforts by the police to compel the couple who have been identified as Nash and Tijani Nimatu to report to the police station on their own has proved futile.
