The University of Ghana has denounced a Saturday evening brawl involving students from Commonwealth and Mensah Sarbah Halls.
According to a statement, “efforts to identify perpetrators are ongoing, and those found responsible of violating national laws or university policies will be promptly sanctioned.”
“Management informs the university community of its determination to guarantee that academic work and other activities continue uninterrupted, and of its commitment to maintaining peace and stability on all university campuses,” the statement continued.
