University of Ghana: One injured; 10 arrested as Katanga, Vandal students clash
One person has been severely injured after students of Commonwealth
Hall and Katanga Hall clashed at the University of Ghana Monday
afternoon.
The clashes started after students of Katanga Hall from the Kwame
Nkrumah University of Science and Technology (KNUST) who were lodging at
Sarbah Hall at the University of Ghana for a debate were seen on a
video assaulting a student from Commonwealth Hall.
Students of Commonwealth Hall popularly known as Vandals were
angered by the video and descended on Sarbah Hall to rescue their
colleague, however, they met a fierce resistance by students of Katanga
and Sarbah leading to bloody clashes.
The irate vandals vandalised property belonging to Sarbah Hall and tried to force their way to rescue their colleague.
A student who spoke to Starr News said the timely intervention of the Police managed to restore calm at the university campus.
10 students have been arrested and are currently in Police cells
while the injured student who is reported to be a vandal has been rushed
to the Legon Hospital for treatment.
The student reported that there is currently police presence on campus to prevent further clashes between the two groups.
