Another rape case hits KNUST; 6 students remanded for raping 1st year student

Six students of the Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology (KNUST) have been remanded on Wednesday.

This is the second time a KNUST student has been charged with raping another student at the school.

“Looking at the fact which have been presented to us, honestly we don’t see rape but that’s what they have been accused of and once someone is accused, the law says the person is innocent until proven guilty or the person pleads otherwise.

At this material moment, this is a court of first instance and they have been brought here for purposes of remanding them into lawful custody,” he stressed.

This is the second incident of this nature to have been recorded on the KNUST campus in the past three weeks.
