Thirty-four students of
the University of Cape Coast (UCC) were on Saturday, arrested on the campus of
the Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology (KNUST).
The suspects were rounded up during the
climax of a hall week celebration by students of the Unity Hall of KNUST.
The police said the suspects failed to
explain why they were on the campus at midnight when they were rounded up and,
thus, transferred to the Regional CID in Kumasi.
This comes amid earlier warnings issued by
the Ashanti Regional Security Council, declaring KNUST a security zone.
A statement by the
Students Representative Council of UCC on Sunday also said it has “taken
initial steps to ascertain the veracity of the situation.”
“Some executives of the SRC, together with
the Atlantic Hall President, have visited the police and have begun engagements
with the CID in charge of the case”, parts of the statement read.
“All students should remain calm to avoid
further aggravation of the situation”, the statement further added.
