Thirty-four students of the University of Cape Coast (UCC) were on
Saturday, 29 February 2020 reportedly arrested on the campus of the Kwame
Nkrumah University of Science and Technology (KNUST).
The suspects were rounded up at the university, during the climax of a hall week celebration by students of the Unity Hall of KNUST.
The police statement said, the suspects failed to explain why they
were on the campus at midnight when they were rounded up and, thus, transferred
to the Regional CID in Kumasi.
