A suspected student robber has attacked a fellow student of Ejisuman SHS with a machete during the school’s prep hours.
The victim, a final-year student, reportedly sustained deep wounds to his head and eye.
According to the father of the victim, Mr. Charles Owusu, the suspect covered his face with a handkerchief and forcefully entered the classroom wielding the machete to rob his son of his phone.
“My son was asked to give out his mobile phone, but he had none on him, which prompted the suspect to pounce on him. While they struggled, the handkerchief covering the suspect’s face came off, so my son saw him,” he narrated.
According to Mr. Owusu, the identity of the robber was unknown until his mask was pulled off.
The suspect behind the attack has been identified as a second-year student of the same school.
The victim, according to Mr. Owusu, rushed to the dormitory with the machete wounds to report the ordeal and was immediately rushed to a hospital for treatment.
The suspect has since been arrested and handed over to the Ejisu Police.
