The Ashanti Regional Security Council (REGSEC) has said it will continue to beef up security at the Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology (KNUST).
The council said in a letter sighted by Dailymailgh, reminding management and students that the institution still remains a security zone.
“On behalf of the Ashanti Regional Security Council, I write to inform you that the declaration of the Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology as a security zone is still in force and must be upheld until further notice.”
It, however, cautioned that persons who flout rules and regulations to throw the school into a state of turmoil will be severely dealt with.
“In this regard, anybody who directly or indirectly engages in activities that may disturb the peace on the Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology campus shall be sternly dealt with in accordance with the law. Breaches will attract the maximum legal security penalty or sanctions associated.”
Dailymailgh.com gathers that the reminder is in relation to a recent disturbances that occurred at the University of Cape Coast during a hall week celebration.
The incident left more than three persons injured and several properties destroyed.
In 2019, however, the conversion of two male halls at the KNUST to mixed ones led to students riot and subsequent destruction of properties estimated at over GHc1.6 million.
The school was closed down indefinitely by the Ashanti Regional Security Council.
