Central Regional Police look for 13 National students

The Cape Coast police are looking for 13 Ghana National College (GNC) students believed to be ring leaders of a rampage at the college over the weekend, which nearly disrupted teaching and learning.

The ASP Mr Henry Amankwatia, second in command of the Cape Coast district police who made this known to the Ghana News Agency on Monday said the suspected students are alleged to have all left the school and efforts are being made to arrest them.

He however, did not disclose the names of the suspects for security reasons and called on the public to help the police with the necessary information that would lead to their arrest. Mr. Amakwatia said police, who were sent to maintain peace and order at the college have since been withdrawn following relative peace on campus.

The headmaster, Mr Albert Aiduenu, blamed the media for their half truth publication on the issue, which he said nearly made the situation uncontrollable and called on the media to always cross-check their facts before publishing, adding that most of the things they reported on the situation were not true.
