An Intel from a student of Osei Kyerekyie Senior High School led to the retrieval of a locally-manufactured pistol allegedly hidden in class by a second-year student of the school.
Headmaster of OKESS, Michael Mensah, says the search for the weapon was successful because of a directive by the Ministry of Education, empowering school authorities to conduct searches on students.
He says that upon a tip-off, he mobilised his staff to conduct a search and later found the pistol under the desk of the boy in class.
