Ghana sends minors off its streets with curfew

Northern regional capital tamale of Ghana has imposed a child curfew which stipulates that minors should be off the street by 10 pm in order to check delinquency.

The mayor of tamale, Iddrisu Musah, told newsmen that the curfew will take effect in two weeks and children found in the streets will be arrested, and their parents arraigned.

This decision follows an increase in children flooding the streets of the city at night.

A similar law was proposed last year by the Philippines president Rodrigo Duterte who cited the need to restore public order and security.
