The Salaga Magistrate Court has scheduled February 21, for the delivery of judgement in a case involving three accused persons, all students of Salaga Senior High School in the East Gonja Municipality of the Savannah Region.

The accused are Nuru Ibrahim, also known as Ibi, Hardi Hamza, also known as Mad Lion, and Abubakari Zaidu, also known as Macharjia.

The 19-year-olds face three charges: possession of a firearm and ammunition without authority, threat of death, and causing harm. All three pleaded guilty to the charges, and their pleas were formally recorded.

The incident in question occurred during a routine school entertainment event on February 8 when two groups of day students from Kpembe and Salaga towns became involved in a confrontation.

One of the students initially retreated, only to return later with a group of individuals, resulting in a shooting and injuries. The accused were arrested on Monday and brought before the Salaga Magistrate Court.

His Lordship Edward Essel granted bail to the accused, along with the headmaster of the school, and adjourned the case to February 21 for sentencing.
