Dr. George Akuffo Dampare, the Inspector-General of Police (IGP), has told pupils at Kumasi's Islamic Senior High School that his organization will do all possible to safeguard them.
Dr. Akuffo Dampare arrived at the spot with a team of cops from Accra after hearing about the protest by students of Islamic Senior High School, which reportedly ended in the hospitalization of approximately 20 pupils.
Police who had been called in by concerned neighbours and motorists reportedly teargassed the pupils who had blocked the road in protest over a terrible road in front of their school.
Meanwhile, Sommit Duut, the Ashanti Regional Director of the National Ambulance Service, has revealed that police officers who reacted to the students' demonstration did not use force.
He saw that the pupils were suffering from respiratory problems.
According to him, the demonstrators' behavior influenced his approach to the police.
Following a visit to those in the hospital, the Inspector General of Police addressed the students on their campus, stating that their classmates are doing well and that he values them as his own sons and daughters.
"Each and every one of you has been placed into this world to fulfill a certain role that no one else can fulfill. As a result, we have a responsibility to make sure that all of you are secure and that you live up to your full potential so that you can stand out and fulfill your God-given destiny for this generation.
"As a result, anything that takes you out of this world before you fulfill your destiny is unholy, and we will do all it takes to guarantee that it does not happen," Dr. Dampare informed the pupils.
"That is why, as a father who views all of you as sons or daughters, as soon as the situation arises, we must stop all we are doing in Accra and come to make sure you are okay," he stated. We have girls like you because we have sons like you."
He cautioned the student body, however, not to take the law into their own hands if they believe anything is wrong. "As a result of what we've seen, we can return to Accra with our spirits and minds intact, and you'll be secure." With this occurrence that occurred as soon as I arrived on site, we went about and observed the hazards to which you are subjected. "I made a few calls, and Urban Roads and its leadership told me that they would swiftly come around and make sure that the correct thing was done," he stated again.
