Students of Kumasi Technical Institute (KTI) and Kumasi Anglican Senior High School (KASS) in the Ashanti region have clashed, leading to vandalism of property on both campuses.
In a violent reprisal, the rampaging students burnt car tires and hurled stones and other objects. They destroyed four private vehicles on the campus of KASS, the school gate as well as a billboard and notice board at KTI.
Principal of KTI, Gabriel Kingsford Osei, alleged the students of Kumasi Anglican started attacking KTI with stones and machetes to vandalize their school billboard, Thursday night.

"I pushed my students to the dormitory to prevent any chaos and went to talk to the students of KASS but they disobeyed me. In the midst of them was a security person with a catapult, leading them to cause destruction.
"When I went to the school to speak with the authorities to calm nerves, the KASS students were still throwing stones which led to the retaliation," he alleged.
But a tutor at KASS, Rev Father Kenneth Collins Owusu, says the clash could be a fallout from arguments at the ongoing inter-school athletics event in Kumasi.

"The least argument between our students and KTI often leads to these confrontations. When a group is provoked, they mobilize their colleagues for such attacks," he stated.
The Ashanti regional education directorate has invited authorities of both schools to find a lasting solution to the situation.
The police intervened to bring the situation under control but no arrest has been made as investigations continue.
