Three suspects, including students from Salaga Senior High School and non-students from the East Gonja Municipality in the Savannah Region, are set to appear before the Salaga Magistrate Court today, Thursday, February 6, 2025.
The charges are in connection with a campus shooting incident that left several individuals injured.
The suspects were initially taken to court earlier but faced delays due to the absence of a magistrate.
They have now been provisionally charged with unlawful possession of a firearm and causing harm, among other offenses.
Reports indicate that the incident occurred during a routine school entertainment event last Saturday when two groups of day students from Kpembe and Salaga towns clashed.
A student involved in the altercation reportedly left the scene, only to return later with reinforcements, leading to the shooting.
The injured individuals were rushed to Salaga Hospital and later discharged. Following the incident, police arrested 20 individuals on Monday but released 17 after screening.
Meanwhile, concerned parents have been arriving at the school, prompting the Parents and Teachers Association (PTA) to hold an emergency meeting today to address the situation and discuss campus security measures.
