Entrance of Agogo State CollegeAt least 22 students of Agogo State College in the Asante Akim North District of the Ashanti Region spent the night in cells after being arrested for rioting by the police on campus on Sunday. The irate students caused damage to the school bus and also attempted to set it ablaze during the protest against the school administration over the weekend. Bossman Ohene-Boadi, who confirmed the incident, said the SHS had been closed for some period of time by the authorities after police were called to quell the violent protest by the students. He told Hello FM yesterday that 22 students, including 18 females, were arrested and detained at the Agogo District Police Command to assist in police investigations. The Agogo District Director of Education, Ernest Kwadwo Afari, revealed that students who incited others to engage in violent acts would face the full rigours of the law.
