Authorities of the University of Ghana have expressed disappointment about last Friday’s violent clash between students of Commonwealth and Mensah Sarbah halls which left two students seriously injured.
Students of these two halls clashed on Friday December 17, resulting in the destruction of properties belonging to both halls worth thousands of Ghana cedis.
Authorities of the University said they are yet to establish the actual cause of the clash.
However, information available to Citi News indicate that students of Commonwealth hall descended on their colleagues from Mensah Sarbah hall to retaliate for beating up one of their colleagues for allegedly stealing a mobile phone.
A team of police and military officers had to intervene to restore order to the campus. There was a similar clash last academic year which resulted in the destruction of properties belonging to the University.
Police at Legon have also begun investigating the incident.
The Dean of students of the University, Dr. James Adomako told Citi News that any student found culpable in relation to the clash will be appropriately sanctioned.
"It is disappointing to say the least but we are still investigating it and we have to wait for investigations to be concluded. After the investigations whatever recommendations come out will be implemented as such".
