Ghana Universities Sports Association (GUSA) say security at match centres for the ongoing GUSA Games will be beefed up following an attack on a referee during a football match.
GUSA released a statement to condemn the unfortunate incident which has left a dent on the games which has earned alot of media and public attention.

The referee was saved by the security officials present. Three persons were arrested and are currently under investigation.
