Another robbery incident reportedly occurred Thursday afternoon at Legon around the ECG office, with a lecturer being the victim.
According to multiple reports, the suspects inflicted cutlass wounds on the lecturer and made off with his bag, which contained his laptop, phones, and important documents.
The lecturer was left bleeding from his hand and had to be rushed to the hospital for treatment. This is a disturbing incident that highlights the need for increased security measures in the area. It is unacceptable that members of the academic community should be subjected to such violence and theft.
This adds up to the rampant cases at Legon and its environs, stirring up tension among the students.
Just a few days ago, a female student was slashed in the face and arms and robbed of her belongings.
The rampant rate of such crimes is causing the students to lose faith in the school’s security and its status as a safe haven.
In view of this, irate students have started a petition for action for their safety to be made paramount with an online protest themed #LegonGoesRed.
