The University of Ghana (UG) has condemned in the strongest term an assault on a young man suspected to be homosexual at the Legon campus.
A viral video on social media captures the victim being stripped and beaten.
Management of the premier university in a statement issued on Tuesday, January 16, affirmed its commitment to ensure the safety of all persons.
“The University of Ghana strongly denounces the assault and denigration perpetrated by the prospects seen in the videos posted on social media, and strongly condemns such acts of lawlessness. The University of Ghana would like to affirm its commitment to the safety, dignity and inclusivity of all persons.”
“Management takes its commitment to the enforcement of the rules and regulations governing the university seriously and any member of the university community identified to be involved in this cruel incident will be appropriately sanctioned,” it added.
It assured the public that it would continue to work with the police for a thorough investigation into the matter and to ensure the safety of all members of the university community as well as visitors to its campuses.
