This brings to three (3) the number of persons so far arrested. Investigation is still ongoing to get all other perpetrators arrested.

Meanwhile, a lecturer at the Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology (KNUST), has asked the management to severely punish the students involved in the Conti-Katanga clash.

Dr Jones Opoku-Ware said such acts endanger academic freedom and cannot be ignored.

As a result, he wants those involved in the clash to be punished to serve as a deterrent to others.

“If we continue to let these students go unpunished, we see these incidents recurring. It’s about time we punish these offenders severely, to serve as a scapegoat to others,” he said in an interview with Joy News.

The disturbance on Thursday, August 18, left three vehicles damaged with about 12 people reportedly injured.
