A viral video that sparked nationwide outrage has led to the swift arrest of three students from the Swedru School of Business.
The incident, which involved a violent assault on a student from Obrachire Senior High School, has moved from social media timelines into the hands of the law.
The arrests followed a high-level intervention by the Director-General of the CID, COP/Ms. Lydia Yaako Donkor, who engaged with the school’s management to ensure accountability for the filmed brutality.
On the night of February 23, 2026, authorities from the Swedru School of Business handed over three suspects to the Swedru Divisional Police Command.
The suspects have been identified as: Joseph Amoh, 20years, Benedict Appiah 18 years and Bilal Mamud 18 years all from the Swedru School of Business.
The police have confirmed that the suspects were processed and are expected to be put before the court to answer for their actions.
The Central Regional Police Command has been vocal in its condemnation of the incident in a statement released following the arrests, officials reiterated their stance against campus-based violence.
”The Central Regional Command wishes to once again condemn the conduct of the students involved and urge the public, especially students, against engaging in acts of violence.”
The swift transition from a “viral video” to a “police docket” serves as a reminder that digital evidence is increasingly playing a role in enforcing student discipline and public safety.
This case has reignited the conversation regarding the safety of students and the growing trend of recording violent acts for social media clout.
By taking legal action rather than just internal disciplinary measures, the authorities are signaling a “zero-tolerance” policy for assault within the educational sector.
