Several students of Assin Nsuta Agricultural Senior High School in the Central Region have sustained injuries, with five currently hospitalized, following a violent clash between Form Two and Form Three students.

According to the Assemblyman for Assin Nsuta-Bepokokoo Electoral Area, Bashiru Kwame Amakrah, the conflict began after a Form Three student was caught in a sexual encounter with a Form One student in an uncompleted building on campus.

Sources indicate that the Form Three student reacted by slapping the Form Two student who witnessed the incident.

Three days later, the Form Two students mobilized and launched an attack on the Form Three students, resulting in a free-for-all brawl.

The situation escalated, with students using clubs and knives against each other, until the police intervened to restore order on campus.

Mr. Amakrah, speaking to the media about the issue said, “I was informed about the incident and I quickly rushed to the school. I observed the entire campus was in a mess with properties damaged. I understand that two students were involved in a relationship.

“The relationship was between a form three student and a form one student. The form two student who saw the two almost in the act of having sexual intercourse approached them infuriating the form three student who slapped the form two student.”

“The Form Two later retaliated and it turned into a free-for-all fight where five students have been hospitalised while several other students sustained minor injuries.

“The Assistant Headmaster in charge of Administration also sustained injuries. The headmaster took some students to the police station to seek a medical form to the hospital for treatment. It took the intervention of the Police to save the situation.”
