With the support of the first year students, the second year students of
Issa Youth Leadership Training Institute started a demonstration on
Friday over the poor quality of their food.
The reportedly tied up the bursar and beat him up before attacking the principal of the school later.
Sources close to the school indicate that before the assault on the
principal and bursar, there had been swelling anger among the students
over the quality of food served them at the dining hall.
After the attack, most of the students fled the school, while the
bursar, Bismark Amponsah, had to be rushed to a nearby clinic and later
transferred to the Wa Regional Hospital.
There were calls for the school to be shut down, however, the
Daffiama-Bussie-Issa District Security Council decided that it would be
best to send the students home.
Wa Divisional Commander, Chief Superintendent Stephen Ngissah explained;
“We met yesterday…we said that they should all go home and come back with their parents or their guardians,”
He said the first year students were however asked to remain on the
school premises after they appealed that they would not be able to pay
for their transportation back home.
