Police mad at authorities of Big Boss

       

             

 The Upper East Regional Police Command has taken a swipe at authorities of Bolgatanga Senior High School, BIG BOSS, for its inability to inform the police on their decision to welcome students back on campus after the institution was temporarily closed down last December following student unrest. 

The Regional Police Public Relations Officer, ASP Thomas Agbenyo, who expressed the sentiment to Radio Ghana's Correspondent Isaac Asare, explained that the police ought to have been invited by the school authorities to conduct expert check to ensure that no student enters the school with any dangerous weapon.

 Moreover, the police were part of the committee that was set up to investigate the matter. Despite their non-involvement in the re-opening of the school, ASP Agbenyo said the police was leaving nothing to chance as it has taken measures to intensify its patrol activities at the school for safety reasons. 

In reaction, the Senior Housemaster of the school, Stephen Awasinap, apologized to the regional police command and the entire police force for the oversight. 

He stated that there was no ill intent as their decision to re-open the school was informed by internal and external pressure from both parents and students. 

It could be recalled that on December 1, 2014, management of the Bolgatanga Senior High School in consultation with the Regional Security Council resolve to close down the school to avoid rioting students from causing further damage to property belonging to the school.

 Earlier, some students went on rampage to express their displeasure on the circumstances surrounding the death of their colleague, Emmanuel Bawah, who fell and died on natural cause as autopsy report reveals.
