The police have taken into custody three Form 3 students from T.I. Ahmadiyya Senior High School, located in Gomoa Potsin in the Central Region. These students stand accused of causing machete injuries to approximately 15 of their junior counterparts who are in Form 2.
According to Jacob Kubi of UTV, it has been observed that the remaining students involved in this misconduct have chosen to conceal themselves from authorities, recognizing that their actions have triggered a police investigation into the matter.
It has been reported that the injured students had to be admitted to the hospital due to the varying degrees of injuries they sustained as a result of the violent actions of their unruly senior classmates.
The sequence of events leading to this unfortunate incident began with allegations that the Form 3 students had invaded the dormitories of their junior counterparts, stealing their personal belongings, including food supplies.
On the day of the incident, these same Form 3 students allegedly once again infiltrated the dormitory area, forcefully breaking open the personal storage boxes belonging to the junior students. This horrifying ordeal escalated further as they individually approached their victims, inquiring about their names before brutally assaulting them by striking their heads with a hammer and subsequently attacking them with machetes.
The culprits involved in these acts of aggression were allegedly known for their recurrent practice of forcibly confiscating food and other possessions from their junior counterparts. Any victims who dared to voice their complaints or confront these individuals were subjected to intimidation.
Among the students who have been apprehended are two individuals with reputations for such misconduct, namely “Cyberman” and another individual believed to be the ringleader, known as “Skinnyman.” Following the commission of these offenses, all of them reportedly went into hiding, with the assistance of some outraged parents of the victims, who facilitated the arrest of the three individuals. Meanwhile, law enforcement authorities continue their efforts to locate and apprehend the remaining offenders who are evading capture.
