Violence broke out during a protest by students of the Techiman Krobo Nursing Training College as they clashed with police officers on Monday, July 27, 2026.

According to multiple online reports, the students were demonstrating against what they described as unfair treatment by management and deteriorating welfare conditions on campus.

The protest reportedly turned violent after some students allegedly pelted police with stones, leading to the officers make several arrests and fire gunshots while attempting to disperse the crowd.

In viral videos circulating online, some students are seen holding stones and running away, while police officers are captured firing gunshots in an attempt to control the situation.

Others are seen being arrested by the police.

Meanwhile, the National Union of Ghana Students (NUGS) has condemned the alleged physical assault of students of the Techiman Krobo Nursing Training College by officers of the Ghana Police Service during the demonstration.

In a statement signed by the NUGS President, Rashid Ibrahim, and released on Tuesday, July 28, 2026, the student body expressed concern over the incident, stating that the trainees were compelled to demonstrate after repeated attempts to have their concerns addressed by management proved unsuccessful.

The union said the protest was triggered by several long-standing welfare challenges, including poor feeding arrangements, unacceptable sanitary conditions, and inadequate communication between college management and the Students’ Representative Council (SRC).

According to NUGS, the students resorted to the demonstration as a last option after exhausting internal channels for dialogue with school authorities.

“NUGS strongly condemns the reported assault on these students. The use of force against unarmed students who were peacefully expressing their concerns is unacceptable and has no place in a democratic society,” the statement said.

While acknowledging the responsibility of the police to maintain law and order, NUGS stressed that such duties must always be carried out professionally and with respect for human dignity.
