An amateur footage capturing a group of Police officers firing tear gas into protesting students of the Islamic Senior High School have surfaced online.
The video was reportedly recorded by a student when the personnel visited the scene to disperse the protestors.
Students of the Islamic Senior High School in Kumasi thronged the Abrepo Junction-Barekese road to protest frequent crashes of pedestrians, including their colleagues and teachers of the school.
The angry students massed up on the road in protest, as they called for construction of speed ramps on that section of the road.
Reports indicate there was vehicular and human traffic on that stretch for more than an hour before the Police were called in to clear the road.
Subsequently, some Police personnel were deployed to the School to maintain law and order.
But in the disturbing video, a constabulary of officers are seen behind shields and charging on the students amidst firing tear gas.
The protestors are then seen running helter-skelter, away from the scene.
“Jesus!” a student is heard saying in the background.
