The students held a demonstration in protest to a directive that there will no longer be vigils and gatherings to sing ‘jama’ songs. It is recalled that on the 24th of August 2018, a Kumasi High Court threw out an injunction application that sought to prevent the authorities of KNUST from converting University Hall and Unity Hall to mixed residences. The court explained that female students had already been granted residence in those halls and, thus, seeking to prevent same would interrupt the activities of the school. The university said it wanted to covert Katanga Hall into a mixed one and we took the matter to the court. We sought an injunction from the same court but the judge threw out our injunction.
