In 2018, a student was stabbed during a fight between two rival groups.

The incident led to the suspension of several students and a thorough investigation by the school authorities.

However, the latest incident has sparked widespread outrage and calls for action.

The Ghana Education Service (GES) has launched an investigation into the matter and has assured that it will work closely with the relevant authorities to ensure a thorough investigation.

The incident has also raised questions about the effectiveness of the school’s security measures.

According to sources, the fight between Edward and his classmate, Godwin, occurred on campus after the deceased had finished writing an exam.

The fact that the incident occurred in broad daylight has raised concerns about the school’s ability to prevent such incidents.

The GES has assured that it will do everything in its power to prevent such incidents in the future.

In a statement, the Director-General of the GES said, “We are working closely with the relevant authorities to ensure a thorough investigation. We hope to conclude our administrative investigations within two weeks while the Police Service handles the criminal investigation.”

The incident has also sparked a debate about the need for metal detectors in schools.

Some have argued that the installation of metal detectors could have prevented the incident.

However, others have argued that metal detectors are not a foolproof solution and that more needs to be done to address the root causes of violence in schools.
