The incident involved Form Two and Form Three students and reportedly erupted over a romantic encounter involving a Form Three student. The Assemblyman for the Assin Nsuta-Bepokokoo Electoral Area, Bashiru Kwame Amakrah, disclosed that the conflict began when a Form Three student was discovered in a compromising situation with a Form One student in an unfinished building on campus. A Form Two student witnessed the encounter and confronted the Form Three student, leading to an altercation in which the Form Two student was slapped. The situation escalated over the following days, with Form Two students organising a retaliatory attack on the Form Three students. Armed with clubs and knives, the students engaged in a widespread brawl across the school premises, causing extensive property damage.
