The Ghana Education Service (GES) has ordered the immediate closure of Nkwanta Senior High School in the Oti Region following a tribal conflict in the area that resulted in three students being shot within two days.

The directive was issued after urgent consultations between education authorities and security officials, according to a report by myjoyonline.com.

On Thursday, June 26, 2025, two female day students sustained gunshot wounds while on their way to school.

The violence escalated on Friday, June 27, 2025, when a male student was tragically killed by a stray bullet inside his classroom during mock examinations.
