An old footage has resurfaced on the internet, showing how the University of Ghana was shut down following a publication made by some students.

The university was shut down on October 30, 1968, following a riot on October 20, 1968, where some four students were suspended while the degree of another person was withheld for a year for publishing materials considered to be obscene in the school's magazine.

In a video shared on X by Askghmedia, some students were seen packing their belongings as they exited the campus premises.

The school was shut down for two weeks after the university authorities suspected that the students were determined to eliminate all outside authority and establish a rule by student power.
