Zuarungu SHS Shut Down Indefinitely After Ethnic Clashes

Zuarungu Senior High School in the Upper East Region has been closed indefinitely following violent clashes between students from the Gurune and Kusasi ethnic groups.

The unrest, which broke out on Sunday, July 20, was triggered by a dispute over a stolen mobile phone and escalated into a full-scale brawl, leading to the destruction of school property, including some burnt facilities.

Four students have been linked to the incident—three are in police custody, while one is on the run, reportedly in possession of a police firearm magazine.

Regional Minister Hon. Donatus Akamugri Atanga ordered the closure to ensure safety as investigations and security operations continue.

Minister Demands 30% DSTV Price Cut Over Cedi Gains

The Minister for Communication, Digital Technology and Innovations, Hon. Samuel Nartey George, has urged Multichoice Ghana to reduce DSTV subscription prices by 30%, citing the recent appreciation of the Ghanaian cedi and rising consumer dissatisfaction.

Speaking at a meeting with a DSTV delegation led by Dr. Keabetswe Modimoeng, the Minister emphasized that despite a 30% improvement in the cedi’s value over five months, subscription rates remain unchanged.

He stressed that Ghanaians prefer a direct price cut over temporary promotions and criticized the platform’s content as outdated, aside from Premier League coverage. Multichoice has until July 21 to respond with a concrete proposal.

The University of Ghana has expelled three students after they were caught impersonating others during end-of-semester exams — a serious breach of the university’s academic integrity policies.

The students involved are Christian Owusu Yeboah, Linda Attah Lambongyi, and Doris Bikpe, who were each found guilty of separate impersonation incidents during the First Semester of the 2023/2024 academic year.

According to a formal statement issued by the university, Yeboah and Lambongyi were caught impersonating during the MKTG301: Principles of Marketing paper, while Bikpe was involved in a similar offense during the UGBS103: Introductory French exam.

Their actions violated Regulation 11.12 of the University’s Examination Rules, which categorically prohibits impersonation and considers it a major academic offense.

Following investigations, the University imposed the following disciplinary actions:

Grade Z has been recorded for the affected semester, meaning all results for the First Semester of the 2023/2024 academic year have been nullified.

All three students have been dismissed with immediate effect, permanently ending their academic relationship with the institution.

The University reiterated its commitment to upholding academic honesty and warned that such conduct would not be tolerated under any circumstance.
