Three students of Swedru School of Business have been arrested in connection with the assault of a student of Obrachire Senior High School, an incident captured in a viral video that has sparked public concern.
The arrests followed an engagement between the Director-General of the Criminal Investigation Department (CID), COP Lydia Yaako Donkor, and the management of Swedru School of Business on February 23, 2026.
A statement issued and signed by Chief Inspector Isaac Evans Ettie of the Public Affairs Unit, Central Region, said school authorities presented the three suspects to the Swedru Divisional Police Command at about 9:00 p.m. on the same day.
The suspects have been identified as Joseph Amoh, 20; Benedict Appiah, 18; and Bilal Mamud, 18. All three are students of Swedru School of Business.
Police confirmed that the suspects have since been arrested and will be put before court to face justice.
The Central Regional Command condemned the conduct of the students involved in the incident and cautioned the public, particularly students, against engaging in acts of violence.
