As a result of threats made by teenagers from Kukuo in the Tamale metropolitan area, a joint police and military team has been sent to Ghana Senior High School. The threats were made in response to an ongoing wall project that is being funded by the Old Students Association.
A fight was very close to breaking out between the locals and the administration of the school since tensions had been building up between the two groups.
The people of the neighborhood attacked some members of the security task force earlier this week, which led to the arrest of six suspects.
According to the evidence compiled by 3news.com, the young people have committed to making a sustained effort to break down the wall.
Residents of Kukuo have resisted the Association's efforts to build a wall around the school with vehement opposition for the past 13 years. The wall would encircle the school.
The residents of the hamlet argue that if the wall is built, it will prevent them from accessing the one and only supply of water for the community. This is the primary motivation for their opposition.
Since then, the security contingent has assumed control of the school and is currently monitoring the situation.
The officials have committed to react harshly with anyone whose acts or inactions will have an impact on the ongoing project as well as academic activities, and they have made this commitment.
