A first year student of the Ghana Senior High School in Koforidua was killed last Saturday after a tree fell on him.

The deceased, Frempong Mposu, was a general arts student of the school.

Six other students were injured and are receiving treatment at the St Joseph’s Roman Hospital.

According to a student who witnessed the incident, “The tree just fell and about six people got injured. There were a lot of people there, but most of them managed to run away so they were not affected.”
