Students of the Winneba Technical Institute who were seen in a viral video brandishing weapons are currently under investigation by the school authorities.

According to the Assistant Administrator of the institution, Stephen Yaw Asare, the students, numbering about eight, who appeared in the video have been identified, while efforts are ongoing to uncover the identities of others who may have been connected to the incident.

Yaw Asare explained that, based on their interrogation of some of the students, it came to light that the act was intended to be playful, with no malicious intent.

However, he acknowledged that the video has triggered widespread backlash and outrage, which he said has tarnished the reputation of the school.
