Radio Tamale reported that the actions of the youth caused panic among staff and visitors.
Bayon fled the offices before they arrived because he had got word of their actions.
Upon arrival, the youth allegedly forced their way into parts of the office and proceeded to lock up the Director’s office, disrupting official activities.
The protesting youth accused the Director of absenteeism and incompetence in the discharge of his duties.
"We no longer need him. We are appealing to the government to replace him, as we are deeply dissatisfied.”
The group also fired a warning at the local government head over delays in development projects.
Some observers suggest the unrest may also be tied to ongoing internal political tensions within the municipality.
No injuries were officially reported, but the incident left municipal workers shaken.
