The St. John’s Basic School, in Accra New Town has been closed down following an attack on female teachers in the school by youth in the area.

The attack follows a decision by one of the teachers to 'discipline' one of the pupils for misbehaving.

The hoodlums beat and chased out teachers who were mostly females. The thugs also made away with personal belongings of the teachers.

One of thugs is alleged to be a boyfriend of the class five (5) pupil who was punished by her teacher for misbehaving. 

Students run helter-skelter for their lives as the heavily built men went berserk, beating up anyone within reach. 

The Assemblyman for the area, John Azuma indicated that this was not the first time the student in question had shown disrespect to her teachers.

He said the matter has been reported to the police who have begun investigations into the incident.

“There have been reports that, that particular girl has been misbehaving in the school and anytime she is disciplined, she causes chaos in the school. We have reported the case to the police and I can assure you that we will try hard and bring the perpetrators to book” he said.
