Another attack at Salaga SHS leaves one student hospitalised, others flee

A fresh attack on students of Salaga Senior High School in the East Gonja Municipality of the Savannah Region has left one student unconscious and hospitalised.

Several other students, mostly boys from the Salaga township, have fled the school, and their whereabouts remain unknown.

Sources in the community indicate that on Thursday, 6th February, students from Salaga on campus marched to the headmaster’s office, demanding the release of three suspects arrested by the police following an earlier altercation between two student groups.

They argued that the arrests were one-sided and insisted that members of the other group involved in Saturday’s altercation should also be detained to ensure fairness.

However, the headmaster failed to grant their demand, prompting the students to begin pelting stones in protest.

The disturbance later attracted youth from Kpembe, a suburb of Salaga, who stormed the school and assaulted the students, leaving one unconscious.

Despite the new incident, the police have yet to make any arrests. However, officers have been deployed to the school to maintain order and protect lives and property.
