The police have urged final year students to remain disciplined and celebrate responsibly as the West African Senior School Certificate Examination ends on Friday, June 19.
In a statement issued ahead of the exam’s conclusion, the Service warned that acts of violence, vandalism, arson, assault, and other unlawful conduct carry serious criminal consequences that could “permanently jeopardise their futures.”
“The Police will not hesitate to arrest and prosecute any student found engaging in such conduct,” the statement said.
The caution follows two recent incidents in the Upper East Region that led to the arrest of six students.
At Zebilla Senior High Technical School, two students were arrested in connection with the arson of a teacher’s apartment. At Bawku Senior High School, four students were arrested for rioting, assault on school staff, and the destruction of school and private property.
The Police Service called on students, parents, guardians, and school authorities to work together to promote discipline, respect, and peace as the exam period closes.
