It said that the 3 boys implicated also had a long record of indiscipline and had even been withdrawn from the boarding house of the school.
“Akwasi Adu Donkor and Asubonteng Osei Kwadwo were withdrawn from the boarding house on the same day for the following offenses: Breaking bounds at night; wearing unprescribed attire in the school (and) fighting in the school.
“Owusu Appiah Raphael was also withdrawn from the boarding house for stealing on countless occasions from his colleagues at the dormitory. After this incident, he and other four students appeared before the D.C. for wrongful entry into someone’s house at TUC. He has also been hiding in the dormitory despite his withdrawal from the boarding house,” the statement read.
The management of the school added that it has done all it could to reform the three boys involved to no avail.
