A 20-year-old student of Tweneboa Kodua Senior High School at
Kumawu in the Ashanti Region of Ghana has been arrested on suspicion of causing
grievous bodily harm to another student of the same school.
Douglas Afril, a
final year science student, was attacked and stabbed on the campus of the Tweneboa
Kodua Senior High School last Thursday following a misunderstanding.
Report gathered says
he was stabbed several times on his left hand during an altercation that
allegedly ensued between him and Francis Adjei, also a final year Visual Arts
student, over a mobile phone device.
The Kumawu District Police Commander, DSP Boakye Ansah, who confirmed the incident, said that the
victim remained hospitalised at the Komfo Anokye Teaching Hospital in Kumasi
while suspect Francis Adjei had been taken into police custody.
He said the police
could not lay hands on what actually happened on the day of the incident
because the victim was in an unstable condition, and that they were not
prepared to put out a one-sided fact of the case into the public domain.
He explained that the
suspect was arrested at the school premises following the incident, whilst the
victim was rushed to hospital for medical attention after he staggered out of
his dormitory to cry for help.
DSP Ansah stated that
as the victim was on admission battling for his life, the suspect was allowed
to sit for the ongoing West African Secondary School Certificate Examination
(WASSCE) under police escort.
He added that the
police were waiting for the victim’s condition to stabilize so that they take a
statement from him as part of investigation.
