Police deny assaulting protesting SHS students

The Ashanti Regional Police Command has denied reports that its officers assaulted some students who were protesting over the cancellation of their mid-term break by the Ghana Education.

The officers were reportedly called into a protest by students of St. Louis SHS and Kumasi Girls who were angry over the midterm cancellation.

Some media accounts suggest a combined team of police and military stormed the schools and assaulted the students.

However, in a statement, the Police said the media reports do not reflect true state of occurrences at the schools.
