The Central Regional Police Command has arrested three students of the Swedru School of Business in connection with the assault of a student of Obrachire Senior High School, a disturbing incident that recently circulated widely on social media.

The suspects have been identified as Joseph Amoh, 20, Benedict Appiah, 18, and Bilal Mamud, 18.

All three are currently in police custody assisting with investigations.

According to the police, the arrests followed high-level engagement between the Director-General of the Criminal Investigations Department (CID), Lydia Yaako Donkor, and the management of Swedru School of Business on Monday, February 23, 2026.

Later that same day, the school formally handed the suspects over to the Swedru Divisional Police Command.

In a statement issued by Chief Inspector Isaac Evans Ettie of the Public Affairs Unit in the Central Region, the Central Regional Police Command confirmed that the suspects will be arraigned before court in the coming days.

The Police Command strongly condemned the assault, describing it as unacceptable and cautioning students against engaging in acts of violence.

It stressed that investigations are ongoing and assured the public that anyone found culpable will be dealt with in accordance with the law.

The police further appealed to school authorities, students, and parents to work together to promote discipline and peaceful coexistence within and between educational institutions.
