Two students of Ada Senior High Technical School (ADA SHTS) have been convicted by the Ada West District Court after changing their pleas to guilty in an assault case.
The students, 20-year-old Oscar Amemasor and 18-year-old Emmanuel Senunya, were charged with assault and abetment of assault involving a fellow student.
The case followed an incident in February 2026, which was captured on video and later shared on social media.
According to the prosecution, Amemasor assaulted the victim with a metal bar, while Senunya was seen holding a cutlass.
During his interview, the students’ lawyer, Enock Teye Sewornu, said the decision to change their pleas was made in their best interest.
The court subsequently convicted the two students and ordered them to sign a 12-month bond to be of good behaviour.
“Fortunately for us, today we brought the case to an end. After looking at the matter holistically, they changed their plea, and they’ve taken the plea again, and they have pleaded guilty to the offence of assault and then abetment of crime.
“So they were convicted, and they were to sign a bond to be of good behaviour for 12 months. So, finally, they are free. In fact, they are students who have just received their results and are about to enter university.
“So this comes as a great relief to them and their parents, so that they’ll be able to go back to school,” he said.
