A joint military-police patrol is currently patrolling the streets of Maame Krobo in the Afram Plains South District of the Eastern region to prevent retaliatory attacks following the alleged murder of a resident by a nomadic herdsman.

Some houses and other properties belonging to nomadic herdsmen in the Zongo community at Maame Krobo have been destroyed.
