Dr George Akuffo Dampare, Inspector General of Police, is currently on his way to Islamic Senior High School in Kumasi, following a student protest that reportedly resulted in the hospitalisation of some students.
Police who had been called in by concerned residents and motorists allegedly teargassed the students who had blocked the road in protest of a bad road in front of their school.
The students’ protest was reportedly sparked by the frequent knockdowns of students and teachers by vehicles on the road in front of the school.
According to reports, academic work has been halted as parents visit the school to check on their children amid tight security.
