The Central Regional Police Command has confirmed the arrest of three students in connection with the assault of an Obrachire Senior High School student, an incident that went viral on social media.
The suspects—Joseph Amoh, 20; Benedict Appiah, 18; and Bilal Mamud, 18—are all students of the Swedru School of Business.
Police said the arrests followed a meeting between the Director-General of the Criminal Investigations Department (CID), COP Lydia Yaako Donkor, and the management of the Swedru School of Business on February 23, 2026. Later that evening, the school handed over the three suspects to the Swedru Divisional Police Command.
In a statement signed by Chief Inspector Isaac Evans Ettie of the Public Affairs Unit in the Central Region, police said the suspects are now in custody and will be arraigned in court.
The Command condemned the violent incident and warned students against engaging in similar acts, noting that investigations are ongoing.
