According to reports from the school premises, the students allegedly smashed the phones of the officials and injured one of them because they are unhappy with strict supervision during the exam.

These final years clashed with the officials over social distancing in the examination hall, insisting the invigilators were too strict on them and as a result can’t copy from friends or from their ‘apor’.

The presence of a few police officers following a distress call, calmed the situation.The agitated students, realising the police had left, attacked Emmanuel Pacome, a reporter with the Daily Graphic when he was spotted taking videos of the incident.

The students crossed him with a motorbike at an obscure place after he had fled from the school compound and subjected him to severe beating.The reporter sensing danger jumped on to a moving commercial vehicle to save his life.
