KNUST Authorities obtain CCTV footages on Kantanga and Unity halls violence clash
Authorities at the Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology KNUST have obtained CCTV footage from the school’s campus as they commence investigations into the clash between Kantanga and Unity halls on Thursday.
Rampaging students on the campus of the KNUST on August 18, 2022 vandalized cars and other property in a clash between students of University Hall ‘Katanga’ and Unity Hall ‘Continental’.
A number of cars parked in front of Conti were damaged by the feuding students.
Order was only restored after police reinforcements secured the scene and drove out the rowdy protesters.
The University Relations Officer, Dr Norrish Bekoe in an interview with OTEC News Kwame Agyenim Boateng said clash left nine vehicles damaged.
Eleven people who sustained degrees of injuries according to Dr Bekoe have been treated and discharged from the school’s hospital.
It is believed attempts of students of Unity Hall to restrain colleagues from University Hall from using their frontage in a procession resulted in the incident.
Dr Bekoe emphasized that they had already begun investigations into the unfortunate incident.
