Students from Osino Presby Senior High/Technical School have clashed with town boys from the neighboring community, resulting in the loss of one life.
The confrontation erupted today Tuesday 20th February 2024 on the school premises when a group of town boys, reportedly from Nsuapemso, a suburb of Osino in the Fanteakwa South District, engaged in a heated exchange with students.
Sources suggest that tensions had been simmering since a previous altercation on Monday, February 19th, 2024, between students of Osino Presby Senior High and the town boys.
According to Agoo FM’s close source, the altercation escalated when one of the students allegedly confiscated a phone belonging to one of the town boys and physically assaulted him on Monday during a school debate in a different community.
Seeking retribution, the town boys returned the following day, Tuesday, February 20th, 2024, resulting in a violent clash between the two groups.
During the altercation, the town boys, numbering six, attempted to set fire to the boys’ dormitory but were thwarted by the quick intervention of the students.
In the ensuing scuffle, one of the town boys was apprehended and subjected to severe beatings before being rushed to a nearby hospital. Unfortunately, he was pronounced dead upon arrival.
In response to the incident, law enforcement agencies from Fanteakwa South District and Koforidua have deployed a team of officers (Police) to the school premises to ensure 24-hour security and maintain peace and order.
Calls have emerged from concerned parties urging authorities to fortify the school with fence wall to prevent unauthorized access, thereby enhancing security measures and preventing similar incidents in the future.
