Shells of live ammunition have been recovered at the Islamic Senior High School following a clash between the Ghana Police Service and the students of the school.
The students mounted roadblocks in protest of a speeding vehicle that knocked down a teacher of the school over the weekend.
This led to a clash with the police who were deployed to return calm injuring dozens according to eye witnesses.
The Police had earlier claimed that they used rubber bullets and water cannons to disperse the irate protesting students however, checks by some journalists who visited the scene have exposed them.
The officers, according to eyewitnesses, reportedly fired warning shots before they could allow free flow of traffic on the Abrepo-Ampabame stretch in the Bantama Constituency of the Ashanti Region.
There was vehicular and human traffic on that stretch for more than an hour before the police were called in to clear the road, reports Jonathan Ofori, the Ashanti regional correspondent of Asaase News.
Academic work has been grounded as parents frequent the school to check on their wards, amid heavy security.
In an amateur video circulating on social media, students could be heard shouting: “We want justice, we need peace” as armed police men try to keep calm on campus.
