10 KTI students in Police Custody AFTER Angry protest - ACP Kwaku Buah confirms

The Manhyia Divisional Police Commander, ACP Kwaku Buah has confirmed that 10 students of the Kumasi Technical Institute are in their custody helping the Police with investigations.

Students of Kumasi Technical Institute (KTI) in Ashanti Regional capital Kumasi vandalized school properties in a massive protest, which occurred on Sunday evening.

The Divisional Police Commander explained the cause of the event as a result of noncompliance between teachers and students.

“They were supposed to be in a prescribed uniform for the prep but some students refused to clad in the uniform. The house masters tried to insist that the students put on the arranged uniform for the prep which did not go down well for the students,” ACP Kwaku Buah said.

“From the dormitory through the department to the house master’s bungalow even to the farms. They have destroyed a lot of things. People’s cars have been vandalized, air conditioners, louver blades, doors and a lot”

He updated that the housemaster involved in the incident was hurt on the head and was given a medical report to show up at the hospital for treatment.

“The house master got injured in the head and we have given him a medical report to attend hospital and come back.

He called on parents to put their wards on better training at home to prevent them from becoming national liabilities who later affect others with their attitudes.

“It is not good for students to put up this attitude. We have to talk to them. They are our children, brothers and sisters. They have to be very cautious,”

“The outcome of our investigations will help us to take the next line of action for the students arrested,” he said.

The bruised students according to colleagues have been admitted in the nearest hospitals.
