The Upper East Regional Minister, Donatus Akamugri Atanga, has ordered the immediate closure of Zuarungu Senior High School (SHS) following violent clashes between Frafra and Kusasi students on Sunday, July 20, 2025.
The chaos, which reportedly started over the alleged theft of a mobile phone, quickly escalated into a full-scale confrontation, resulting in the burning of some school structures and heightened tension across the campus.
According to a Citi News source, the Police have arrested four students in connection with the incident.
However, one suspect allegedly escaped while being transported to the police station, reportedly seizing a police officer's magazine during the escape.
