Some students of the Ghana Institute of Journalism, GIJ, are protesting a decision by school authorities to prevent them from writing exams.
The peaceful protest, which became chaotic, was against management for not allowing them to take the exams over non-payment of fees in full.
The students, who clad themselves in Red and Black, stormed the school’s campus and called for the immediate removal of the newly inducted rector of the institute, Professor Kwabena Kwamsah-Aidoo.
The students say they are being oppressed by the Rector and have hence threatened to take the law into their own hands.
Personnel from the Ghana Police Service were deployed to the school to maintain order and calm down tempers of the aggrieved students.
According to school regulations, continuing students are supposed to pay at least 60% of their fees in the first semester before they will be allowed to register their courses and partake in the exams.
However, according to these students, despite paying nearly their fees in full, they were not allowed to write their papers.
This is because some of them failed to register their courses online.
More soon.
