Three students of Swedru School of Business (SWESBUS) have been arrested in connection with the assault of a student from Awutu Obrachire Senior High Technical School (OSTECH) following a 24-hour ultimatum issued by the CID Director-General.
The arrests were made on February 23, 2026, after the directive given by CID Director-General, Lydia Yaako Donkor, who had earlier engaged the management of Swedru School of Business over the incident.
—These are the juvenile suspects—
The suspects — Joseph Amoh (20), Benedict Appiah (18), and Bilal Mamud (18) — were picked up in relation to the assault of an OSTECH student captured in a viral video that sparked widespread public outrage.
Following discussions between the CID leadership and school authorities, the three suspects were handed over to the Swedru Divisional Police Command on February 23, 2026. They are currently in police custody and are expected to be arraigned before court as investigations continue.
The incident, which stemmed from tensions after the Zone 2 Inter-Schools competition, has drawn national attention and prompted swift action from law enforcement authorities.
Further updates will be provided as the case proceeds through the judicial process.
