St Paul’s Senior High School at Denu in Volta Region has been
closed down following a riot last night which led to the death of one student
with several others injured.
The students were allegedly protesting against the police's
attempts to protect two of their colleagues whom they accused of engaging in
sodomy.
According to one of the teachers, the students claimed they
had caught two of their colleagues having gay sex insisted on delivering an
instant justice of beating them.The school authorities after several failed
attempts to control the students called in the police.
‘’These boys said they wouldn’t agree because the teachers
have not been doing anything to students practicing gayism in the school’’,
said the teacher who spoke on anonymity.
The presence of the police made matters worse as students
were seen destroying school properties, succeeded in blocking access to the
major roads as well as burning lorry tyres after firing a warning shot.
The two suspects; a first and second year male students were
allegedly seen caressing and then after having anal sex.
Some of the students who spoke to Citi News said they were
compelled to immediately penalize their their colleagues because the school
authorities have been condoning such acts in the school.
‘’The school is ready to penalize us when we wear
unsubscribed attires but fails to apply the rules when other colleagues engage
in sodomize,’’ one student said.
Some of the students have also accused the police of having a
hand in their colleague’s death. They claim the police came opening fire on
them and one of the stray bullets hit their colleague.
According to Ketu South Police, Commander Superintendent
Augustine Luguyare, who confirmed the incident said doctors are yet to conduct
an autoposy to tell the cause of death. He assured the public that measures are
being put in place to prevent further violence. He however denied the police
hand in the death.
The deceased, Adio Rakhib, was a first year student of the
school.
For now one knows the whereabout of the boy alleged to be
having gay sex.
