The sad incident happened when the team was returning to Tamale after facing Ampen Darkoa Ladies in the Women’s Premier League.

“Awful news. I just spoke to head coach of Pearlpia Ladies, Mallam Nuhu, who confirmed that their bus was attacked by armed robbers on their way to Tamale from Techiman after honoring the women’s premier league match against Ampem Darkoa Ladies. Thankfully, they are all safe,” Happy FM journalist Ayisha Ali tweeted.

Meanwhile, Pearlpia Ladies later took to Twitter to confirm the robbery attack, adding that none of their players were injured.

“Thanks to ALLAH for surviving the Armed Robbery attack. None of us were injured,” the club posted on Twitter.
