On Saturday night, students of the Krobea Asante Technical and Vocational Institute in the Sekyere East district in the Ashanti Region reportedly went on a rampage.

The Principal of the Institute, Evans Douglas Salvo, spoke about what actually happened. On the recommendation of the Sekyere East District Security Committee, the Ashanti Regional Security Council, REGSEC in consultation with the Regional Education Directorate closed down the Institute indefinitely.

In a follow up visit to the school, Chairman of the REGSEC, Simon Osei Mensah, announced the composition of a five-member Investigation Committee to unravel all circumstances regarding the riot.
