2 students arrested for allegedly assaulting housemaster

Two students of the Wa Technical Institute have been arrested for allegedly assaulting a housemaster and another student.

19-year-old Yussif Mudasshir is reported to have been reproached by the housemaster for dressing improperly.

According to the housemaster, Israel Musah Frinko, the student had agreed to change his attire but later resisted.

“I approached him and asked him to go and change like a normal student, and he agreed. After he entered the yard, he resisted, so I held his shirt and asked him to hurry up and not waste my time.”

“And all he said was he didn’t like what I was doing, and I replied that I’m only asking you to go and change. Then we were walking on the pavement blocks when he went to the unpaved floor. I never knew his intention.”

“He bent down, got up, and hit me with a stone. I felt pain, and blood was oozing from my ear and my nose, so from there, we sent him to the master in charge of discipline,” he explained.

The second student is reported to be an accomplice and a bosom friend of Yussif Mudasshir, who also came to the scene when the incident happened.

Information gathered indicated that Yussif’s friend was resisting arrest when the police arrived, and while doing that, he used scissors to injure one of the students.

Teachers of the institution have since decided to boycott examination invigilation, saying that the school environment has become unsafe and are demanding the expulsion of the two students.
