The Director-General of the Criminal Investigations Department (CID) has reportedly issued a 24-hour ultimatum to the administration of Swedru School of Business (SWEBUS) to assist in producing suspects linked to violent incidents that occurred during an inter-school sports event.
The directive follows disturbances that reportedly disrupted the games, raising concerns about student safety and discipline during competitive school activities. Law enforcement authorities say investigations are underway to identify individuals responsible for the misconduct.
Police sources indicate that school authorities are expected to cooperate fully with investigations by making available any students identified in connection with the incident. The CID has emphasised that accountability is necessary to prevent future occurrences and to maintain order within educational institutions.
The incident has sparked broader conversations about security arrangements at inter-school competitions, particularly at the senior high school level. Stakeholders have called for stronger supervision, clearer behavioural guidelines, and improved collaboration between school authorities and local police during such events.
Education observers note that sporting competitions are intended to promote unity, teamwork, and healthy rivalry among students. However, when violence overshadows these events, it undermines the educational and character-building purpose they are meant to serve.
Authorities are expected to provide further updates as investigations progress. Meanwhile, students and school administrations across the country have been reminded to prioritise discipline and responsible conduct during extracurricular engagements.
