A student of the University for Development Studies (UDS), Wa Campus, is said to have exchanged blows with his lecturer in an examination hall. The yet-to-be indentified student was among some second-year students from the Faculty of Integrated Business Studies of the university writing a semester examination. Per the university’s examination rules, students are required to show their identity cards before taking their seat in the hall but the student refused to comply. An eye witness told Joy FM’s Upper West correspondent Rafik Salaam that a mobile phone and some materials forbidden in the examination hall were found on the student whilst he entered the hall, necessitating a further search on him but which he refused. Efforts to retrieve the phone and the forbidden materials from him also proved futile, the eye witness who is also a student narrated. Proving difficult, he was asked to show his student ID card, but, again, he refused. “So they told him to walk out [but] he said he won’t go out,” the eye witness recounted. He said a lecturer who felt the student was being intransigent confronted him. According to the eye witness, the lecturer first pushed the student, who retaliated. The lecturer then hit the student and again he replied in equal measure. “The master slapped him and he also blow the master so they started fighting,” the eye witness narrated. The development compelled the centre coordinator to suspend the examination until further notice. But Rafik Salaam said information he gathered from the school indicated that Monday’s incident was not the first time the unidentified student had behaved rudely towards an invigilator.
