A fifteen-member committee, comprising all major stakeholders of the Salaga Senior High School in the East Gonja Municipality of the Savannah Region, has recommended to the Director-General of the Ghana Education Service (GES) to indefinitely suspend some 28 students internally for misconduct.
The incident took place on campus during a routine entertainment event on February 8 when two groups of students from Kpembe and Salaga towns got involved in a confrontation.
One of the students, Hardi Hamza, initially retreated only to return later with a group of individuals, resulting in a shooting and injuries.
The accused were arrested and brought before the Salaga Magistrate Court where they were tried and sentenced to a non-custodial sentence of 100 penalty units each, which is equivalent to GH¢1,200 or, in default, serve a 6-month imprisonment.
