The Police in the Nkwanta Municipality of the Volta region have arrested 30 students of the Nkwanta Senior High School (NKWANSEC) for vandalizing the school’s property worth thousands of cedis.
The students allegedly went berserk on Monday night after their mobile phones were seized, and destroyed motorbikes, air conditions and shutters, and smashed the windscreens of the Municipal Police Commander among others.
Mr Paul Nyarko, Headmaster of the School told reporters that the attacks started after the authorities received intelligence that some students were using mobile phones against the School’s rules and seized them.
He said after the phones were retrieved, the students hurled stones at the masters and started destroying the items, including the school bus.
Mr Nyarko said the intervention of the Police and the Military joint team brought the situation under control with studies going on smoothly.
Mr Williams Ayensu, the Municipal Police Commander, confirmed the incident to GNA and said the Municipal Security Council was yet to meet over the issue.
