"Those who are not students, we will handover their details to the police. The IGP is so much interested in this matter, because we need to bring a finality to this issue of hooliganism within the universities once and for all," the KNUST University Relations Officer (URO), Dr Norris Bekoe said.

He said from now on, "any student who is rusticated, or dismissed from the university, we will publish the person's details, reasons why the person is no longer fit to be our student, and then we will also add photographs and we will circulate this across the major media platforms so parents can identify and know."

Dr Bekoe confirmed to Graphic Online that five people have been identified through the CCTV footages.
