The Ghana Police Service has arrested six students of Aggrey Memorial Senior High School for allegedly attacking a final-year student of Adisadel College in Cape Coast.
According to a statement from the Central Regional Police Command’s Public Affairs Unit on Tuesday, February 24, 2026, the incident occurred on Friday, February 20, at around 3:30 p.m., shortly after the close of an inter-colleges sports festival at the Cape Coast Stadium.
The victim, identified as Rexford Owusu-Ansah, was reportedly attacked at Pedu Junction while returning to campus with two friends. The suspects allegedly stopped the group to confirm whether they were Adisadel College students before launching the assault.
While the victim’s friends managed to flee, Rexford was overpowered, knocked to the ground, and beaten. The assailants are accused of stealing his iPhone 17 Pro Max, GH¢1,400 in cash, and his shoes.
School authorities reportedly handed over the six juvenile suspects to the Kotokuraba Police Station around 7:30 p.m. the same day.
The victim was initially treated at the stadium clinic before being referred to the Cape Coast Regional Hospital, where he was discharged on Sunday, February 22. A police medical report, endorsed by a doctor, confirmed that he sustained a fractured bone near his right eye, leaving him unable to open it.
Police say the victim’s two friends have indicated they can identify the attackers.
“The Central Regional Police Command strongly condemns the violence and assures the public that due process will be followed, as the juvenile offenders will face the full rigours of the law,” the statement, signed by Acting Head of Public Affairs ASP Patrick Bentum, said.
