Police say they are working to provide security for teachers of the Salvation Army Basic School following the murder of a headteacher there by some teenagers.

Five of the six teenagers involved in the attack have been arrested and are currently in police custody.

However, in an interview with Citi News, the Public Relations Officer for the Eastern Regional Police Command, DSP Ebenezer Tetteh said they are strategising on measures to protect the staff.

“The local police has to sit down with them and strategize to know what form of protection they may need and if it is within the immediate needs of the local police then we will give them the protection. Protection is very necessary so that the teachers can teach in an atmosphere of tranquillity,” he said.
