Commonwealth and Mensah Sarbah Hall clash: Persons found culpable will be sanctioned – UG Management

This is in response to an inter-hall fight that ensued between the residents of the Commonwealth and John Mensah Sarbah halls of the University of Ghana last night resulting in injuries and damage to properties.

“Management of the University has noted with concern, yet another series of clashes between students of Commonwealth and Mensah Sarbah Halls, which occurred late in the evening of Friday August 5th, and in the early morning hours of Saturday August 6th, 2022,” the statement noted.

An eyewitness who pleaded anonymity told myjoyonline.com that residents of Sarbah Hall celebrated ‘Sarbahfest’ on Friday.

As part of the festivities, the residents of the hall went on a procession, what is referred to in local parlance as ‘Jama’.

Somehow, one of them strayed to the Commonwealth Hall, he was beaten up and his phone taken away.

In the process, a vehicle parked at the Mensah Sarbah Hall car park was set ablaze.
