Dr. Bekoe claims that because the entire university campus is networked and under the constant supervision of CCTV cameras, the police will be given access to pertinent footage to facilitate their inquiries.

Reacting to the statement issued by the Ashanti Regional Coordinating Council which suggested that the council had picked intelligence that some students were likely to engage in violence following a similar clash at the University of Ghana, Dr. Bekoe maintained that the university campus had long been declared a security zone thus the police presence had been seen days before the clash.

“In the process, they destroyed about 9 vehicles belonging to staff. The police called for reinforcement and calm was restored. There were about ten or eleven students who sustained various injuries, and they were rushed to the university hospital for attention.”

“As we speak, we are helping the police commence investigation into this, and fortunately we have networked the whole campus.”

“Management did not anticipate that there would be this kind of violence on campus. For the past two to three weeks, there has been police presence on campus because this place was declared a security zone long ago by the Regional Security Council, so there has been police presence on campus.”

“In fact, when the procession started, everything was going on peacefully until there was a trigger.”
