Reports in the media claiming that one of its students had been murdered by armed robbers have been denied by the administration of the Akenten Appiah-Menka University of Skills Training and Entrepreneurial Development (AAMUSTED) in Kumasi.
The level 100 English student in question was attacked and left for dead on the Kumasi-Sunyani Highway, but the institution claims he survived.
The victim has been released from the hospital and is in good condition, the institution claimed in a letter.
“Indeed, on April 25, 2023, a student, after studying late into the night was returning to his hostel, outside the campus. The student was attacked by unknown assailants and abandoned along the Kumasi-Sunyani Highway, somewhere near the University.
“Thankfully, a Campus Security Staff sported the student. The security staff rallied the support of others and rushed the victim to the University Clinic for initial medical care. Subsequently, the patient was referred to the Komfo Anokye Teaching Hospital (KATH) for further treatment.
“We wish to put on record that the student is in good condition and has been discharged from the hospital,” parts of the letter read.
