‘Poor food demo’ hits Wulugu Senior High; as students vandalize school properties

A committee has been tasked to investigate the cause of the students’ riot that happened at the Wulugu Senior High School, in the West Mamprusi in the North East Region.

The students, last Thursday, protested over what they say poor food quality, water shortage, among others which resulted in the vandalization of some school properties.

The situation forced the school’s authorities to shut down the school until further notice.

The North East Regional Minister Yidana Zak said a committee will be inaugurated on Tuesday to investigate the cause of the riot.

“The students were invited, and they raised a number of issues they think have not been addressed, for which reason they chose to go on rampage. What came out after a meeting was that, the students has settled on four teachers including the headteacher who they are looking out for. So we thought that the discussions that have taken place earlier about the threats on the teachers and the general breakdown of discipline are things we need to take a strong look at.”

The intervention of some security agencies brought the riot under control.
