• Upsurge of Religious Tensions

  

  At least four churches have been banned from holding services at the Aliu Mahama Stadium in the northern city of Tamale. Stadium authorities have refused to renew their licences to operate, while allowing numerous other religious and political organizations to continue.

  In mid-February, the four churches, comprising of more than 700 congregants, were given ten days' notice to evict. Even before that time was up, the electrical power supply was disconnected from areas being used by the churches.
