Two people, including a student of Christian Methodist Senior High School (SHS) in Accra, sustained serious injuries following violent clashes between students and residents of New Aplaku in the Ga South Municipality of the Greater Accra Region.

The incident occurred on Thursday, February 27, 2025, after some students allegedly assaulted a colleague for allegedly stealing a mobile phone.

According to an eyewitness who spoke to Adom News, the accused student fled to a nearby shop for refuge but was pursued by the angry group.

In the process, they vandalized the shop and stabbed a community member in the eye with scissors.

On Friday morning, tensions escalated when some students reportedly launched another attack while wielding weapons.

Shocked residents, speaking on the development, expressed concern about the students’ conduct, with some questioning whether they were truly students or land guards.

They also alleged that some students were under the influence of drugs, citing their aggressive behaviour.

In response to the escalating violence, a joint military and police team has taken over the school after some community members began mobilizing for retaliation.
