The Kasoa Ofaakor District Police Command has apprehended six teenage boys for allegedly attacking two Junior High School (JHS) students at Kasoa Gada in the Awutu Senya East Municipality of the Central Region.
The incident, which took place on Friday around 7:00 pm, reportedly stemmed from an interschool soccer competition at Kasoa Opeikuma. On their way home, the victims were allegedly confronted by a group of seven boys, dragged into a nearby bush, and assaulted.
Among those arrested, five are 15 years old, while the alleged ringleader, identified as Bulldog, is 19 years old. Two of the suspects were reportedly classmates of the victims.
Following the attack, the victims’ parents reported the incident to school authorities on Monday, prompting police action. The six suspects were subsequently arrested, while three other accomplices remain at large.
Law enforcement officials are actively investigating the case and searching for the remaining suspects.
