A Business student of KNUST Senior High School in the Ashanti Region died on Tuesday, 7 July 2020 after suffering stomach pains for more than three hours without being given any medical attention.

The victim’s colleague students, who attended to him until his father arrived on campus to convey him to a health facility where he later died, said the school authorities left the patient to his fate despite reeling under intense pain with vomiting bouts.

According to the angry students, who went on the rampage following their colleague’s death, the school authorities shunned the now-deceased out of fear of contracting COVID-19.

The students vented their spleen on the headteacher’s car by smashing the windows with stones.

Armed police officers had to intervene to restore calm on campus.
