Officials of the Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology (KNUST) have suspended all hall and SRC week celebrations indefinitely.
This follows the disturbances arising out of the University Hall’s (KATANGA) week celebration which led to several properties being destroyed leaving at least 12 students injured.
In a statement on Friday (19 August 2022), the university directed that “massing up of students leading up to ‘morale‘ activities and procession is suspended indefinitely.”
The university has also ordered a random security check of persons and vehicles entering and exiting the institution.
They further appreciated the security agencies and the Ashanti regional police command for their swift intervention to calm the situation.
