A number of students of the Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology (KNUST), have suffered various degrees of injuries following a clash between members of the University Hall aka Katanga and Unity Hall aka Conti on Sunday.
The students also destroyed school property including chairs and glasses.
According to the Public Relations officer of the Students’ Representative Council (SRC) at KNUST, Caleb Asamoah Temeng, the incident occurred during the vetting of aspirants for the school’s SRC at the Great Hall of the University.
He explained that the incident begun during the procession of the two halls noted for their rivalry into the Great Hall to support their candidates who were aspiring for posts in the SRC.
He said, “When the ‘Katangees’ arrived, there was some sort of confusion between them and the Continentals. One gentleman believed to be part of the management team of an aspirant from Conti was preventing the ‘Katangees’ from entering the Hall. This caused the first chaos between the two sides.”
