The Ghana Police Service has launched investigations into a violent incident at Agona Swedru in the Central region that marred the District Schools Athletics Games on Thursday, February 19, 2026.
It is reported that a confrontation between students from two participating schools reportedly degenerated into a disorder, disrupting what was intended to showcase sporting talents.
Eyewitness accounts indicate that tensions escalated between students of Obrachire Senior High Technical School and Swedru School of Business, widely known as SWESBUS, culminating in a physical clash.
In the video, a student from Obrachire SHS was allegedly attacked by a group of students in the course of the disturbance, where the victim was reportedly struck with sticks and pelted with stones before some bystanders came to his rescue to restore calm.
The Ghana Police Service, in a statement posted on its official Facebook page on Monday, February 23, 2026, confirmed the incident, saying it had taken notice of the footage that has gone viral since.
“The Ghana Police Service has sighted a viral video in which a group of people are seen pelting stones at a student. Investigations into the incident are ongoing, and further developments will be communicated in due course,” the statement said.
The police have since assured the public that those found culpable will face the full rigours of the law, as efforts continue to establish the circumstances that led to the confrontation.
“The Service strongly condemns the violence and assures the public that all perpetrators will be identified and brought to justice.”
