Three students of Ejisu Senior High Technical School have been stabbed in three separate incidents between Monday and Tuesday.
On Monday, an 18-year-old form two student was stabbed close to his spine with a pair of scissors when he resisted attempts by four of his colleagues to snatch his mobile phone.
According to police, one of them, who admitted to the crime, is in police custody.
On Tuesday evening, some youth from the Ejisu township attacked and stabbed another student of the school in an alleged fight over girls.
That same evening, another student of the school was stabbed in the head in a fight among students on campus.
The students blame the recent attacks on the incomplete wall around the school.
The Ejisu District Police Commander, Superintendent Fred Lumor, has indicated that three people have been arrested in connection with the attacks as investigations continue.
Meanwhile, the Ejisu Municipal Security Council headed by Samuel Oduro Frimpong is expected to visit the school on Thursday.
Mr. Frimpong who heads the Council said “I’ve told the Assembly officers and the headmistress that tomorrow when we come there we shall all go there and look at how best we can do the fencing to ensure that we get a win-win situation.”
Crime Check Foundation’s crime prevention advocacy
Crime Check Foundation (CCF) has introduced programmes including the latest ‘Stay Away From Trouble’ as part of its crime prevention advocacy project.
Through these programmes CCF cautions the general public against acts that could land them in trouble in a bid to curb crime.
The Foundation screens one-on-one interviews with prison inmates bringing to bear acts that landed them into prison and the difficulties they face in custody.
It has also paid the fines of many petty offenders for their release.
