Students of the Commonwealth and Mensah Sarbah Halls clashed on Friday, 29 October 2021.

Students of both halls at the close of polls of the Students Representative Council (SRC) on Friday, 29 October 2021 clashed over the delay in the declaration of results by the Electoral Commission (EC).

The students, who gathered infront of the University’s SRC office while chanting Jama songs eventually pelted broken bottles and stones at each other.

The Police had to reinforce its presence on the University’s campus to prevent further clashes.

The University Teachers Association of Ghana (UTAG), University of Ghana branch, had called on the management and Dean of Students of the University to probe the recent clash between students of the two Halls and ensure those found culpable are punished.
