The Inspector-General of Police (IGP), Dr George Akuffo Dampare has interdicted the deputy Ashanti regional commander DCOP Kwasi Akomeah-Apraku following Monday’s clash between the police and students of the Islamic Senior High School in Kumasi.
Two other senior officers ACP George Ankomah and ACP Alex Cudjoe Acquah, the Suame divisional commander were also interdicted after the IGP visited the school to sympathise with the students.
At least 25 students were injured when the police fired warning shots and used pepper spray to disperse them while protesting against carnage on the main road leading to the school. The students mounted roadblocks in protest of a speeding vehicle that knocked down a teacher of the school over the weekend.
