Accra: The Headmaster of the Swedru Business School, Justice Kojo Frimpong, and other authorities of the school had to quickly wipe the smiles off their faces during an encounter with COP Lydia Donkor, following the violence at the District Schools Athletics Games at Agona Swedru, involving students of the school.
According to Ghana Web, COP Donkor, the Director-General of the Criminal Investigations Department (CID) of the Ghana Police Service, stormed the school to engage its authorities over the incident on Monday, February 23, 2026. A video of the visit, made available to the news outlet, showed the CID boss issuing a strong warning to the headmaster and other authorities of the school.
The faces of Kojo Frimpong and other school authorities, who were initially smiling, suddenly changed after the CID boss told them they had to produce the students of the school who were captured in viral videos of the violence, assaulting a student from a rival school. COP Donkor emphasized the importance of identifying the individuals involved, as the incident had tarnished the school's reputation.
COP Donkor instructed the school authorities to produce the suspects within 24 hours. She stated, 'Somebody has worn your uniform to create such a scene or to conduct himself in such a manner; it is giving your school a bad name. So, I'm sure you are concerned that that is your school shirt. That's because I wanted you to control that it is your school shirt. So, if that is your school shirt, and somebody has worn it and is attacking a fellow human being in such a manner, as a school, you should be concerned to find out who wore that shirt and hand them over to the police, no?'
The CID boss further warned the school authorities that failure to comply would lead the police to take action. She explained that if the suspects are not produced within the stipulated deadline, the police would resort to measures typically used in criminal cases, while taking care to avoid implicating innocent students.
