The Obuasi Municipal Assembly has ordered the indefinite closure of Obuasi Secondary Technical School following a violent incident in which the school's headmaster was allegedly attacked by a mob of students.
According to reports, tensions at the school escalated after some students alleged that the headmaster had been seen in a nearby bush burying a fetus.
The students further claimed the incident was linked to allegations that the baby resulted from an alleged abortion involving a student.
Police have since arrested six students in connection with the alleged assault on the headmaster, assisting with investigations.
The Municipal Assembly said the indefinite closure is a precautionary measure aimed at ensuring the safety of students, teaching and non-teaching staff, and preventing any further disturbances on campus.
