The Ghana Education Service (GES) has suspended the ongoing inter-school athletics competition following a violent assault incident during the games in Agona Swedru.
The decision was taken after a closed-door meeting by education authorities in response to the attack, which involved a student from Obrachire SHS. The incident sparked widespread concern among parents, students, and stakeholders over safety at school sporting events.
GES indicated that the suspension is aimed at restoring calm and allowing for thorough investigations into the matter. Authorities have also assured the public that appropriate disciplinary and legal actions will be taken against those found culpable.
The development has reignited conversations about security arrangements and crowd control measures at inter-school competitions, with many calling for stricter supervision to prevent future incidents.
Further updates are expected as investigations continue and a decision is made on the way forward for the competition.
