Ashanti Regional Security Council declares KNUST a security zone

The Ashanti Regional Security Council has declared the Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology (KNUST) as a security zone.

This decision, the Security Council revealed, has been necessitated by fears that some members of the University’s Alumni are instigating their members to engage in activities that would disturb academic work and peace.

In a statement signed by the chairman of the Regional Secretary (REGSEC), Simon Osei-Mensah indicated that the University would remain a security zone until further notice.

He added “Anybody who directly or indirectly engages in activities that may disturb the peace on the KNUST Campus shall be sternly dealt with in accordance with the law.”

“The Regional Security Council urges the general public to strictly observe this directive since any breaches may attract the maximum legal security penalty or sanctions associated with it,” he cautioned.
