President f Burkina Faso Roch Marc Christian Kaboré has condemned the
suspicious death of 12 people in police custody in east of the country mid-May.
As investigations into the suspicious death of the 12 in a Tanwalbougou police station continues, the Burkina president said the incident was ‘‘unacceptable’‘.
President Kaboré urged people to avoid stigmatization.
Burkina Faso’s security forces and self-defence groups, have in the last 3 years been regularly accused of blunders or abuses, particularly against Fulani populations.
Some Fulanis have joined jihadist groups that have killed nearly 900 people since 2015 in Burkina Faso.
