The Volta Regional Minister, Mr James Gunu, on Sunday ordered the temporary closure of the Sokode Secondary Technical Senior High School near Ho, due to clashes with some community members.
The Minister's instruction was against the backdrop of some misunderstanding that occurred between some students and community members, which escalated resulting to attacks on each other.
The situation led to a swift military and Police deployment to minimise the violence, prevent loss of lives.
Mr Gunu indicated that the decision to temporarily close the school was on an advice from the Regional Security Council (RESEC).
