Story: Zakaria Alhassan, Savelugu
THE Savelugu Senior High School in the Northern Region has been closed down indefinitely and the students ordered to vacate the school-premises until further notice.
The Savelugu/Nanton District Directorate of Education gave the directive following an assault on the headmaster of the school at the weekend for daring to compel the students to discontinue a records dance they had organised without authorisation.
The Headmaster, Mr Paul Kally, sustained injuries, while his bungalow and the school’s only pick-up vehicle were vandalised in the process.
No arrest has been effected yet but the police have begun investigations into the matter.
According to the Deputy Director of Education in-charge of senior high school in the district, Alhaji Yakubu Alhassan, the incident occurred last Saturday night.
Mr Alhassan alleged that the irate students threw stones and other objects that damaged the headmaster’s bungalow and also smashed the windscreen of the vehicle, after the headmaster had directed that the records dance be stopped.
He explained that the incident might have occurred as a result of an existing impasse between the headmaster and the students that worsened.
