Conti, Katanga

One Student of KNUST has been remanded by the Court for threatening to stab some other students to death  following violent clashes between students of the Katanga and Unity Halls of the University.

The Police said suspect Elivis Nsiah, a level-200 student of the KNUST has been arrested for the offence of threat of death.

The suspect is alleged to have threatened to stab five students of the Continental Hall of the university and kill one other student of the same hall to pacify what he refers to as the gods.

The accused person was put before the Asokore Mampong Magistrate Court and has been remanded into police custody to reappear on 30th August, 2022.

Meanwhile investigation is still ongoing to get all others involved in the rioting arrested to face justice.

The disturbances, which begun last week Thursday, led to some school and private properties being vandalized.

This clash at KNUST comes as hall rivalries have received scrutiny in the wake of the violence between Mensah Sarbah Hall and Commonwealth Hall at the University of Ghana, Legon.

The Police Service have subsequently restored calm on the campus of the Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology.
