Accra, Ghana- Wednesday, July 8, 2020,/ https://africanpostonline.com/ Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology (KNUST) Senior High School students protest alleged wickedness of school authorities over the neglect of a fellow student over covid-19 fears eventually leading to his death. 

A video captured by a student shows the deceased struggling for his life as he shows signs of weakness and excruciating pain.

According to the students, their colleague, a business student had an ulcer and was seriously ill but was left unattended to by the teachers who refused to assist, call an ambulance or use their cars to rush him to the hospital. 

Within the three hours of struggling for his life, he was at a time rolling on the floor for hours and started vomiting but was told to wear a face mask.

Some of the students that assisted their colleague said the senior housemaster asked them to leave him to wash their hands and then punished them to weed a plot of land. 

They also said the headmistress stood in front of their ill colleague for a while but did not act.

The students with anger protested last night and vandalised the headmistress’ car. Police personal went to the school to enforce peace and calm.
