The Ashanti Regional Director of the National Ambulance Service, Sommit Duut, says police officers who responded to the protest at the Islamic Senior High School in Kumasi did not use live bullets in their attempt to disperse the crowd.
He noted the students rather suffered respiratory distress.
According to him, the response to the police was informed by the conduct of the protesters.

Meanwhile, the Police in a statement said investigations into the matter have begun.
The Inspector-General of Police George Akuffo Dampare is currently in Kumasi to gather first-hand information on the incident.
