The Volta North Regional Police Command has apprehended three former students of Hohoe E.P. Senior High School for allegedly destroying school property after completing their final examinations.
According to a statement from the Public Affairs Unit of the Ghana Police Service, school authorities reported the incident on June 19, 2026, after a video circulated online showing a group of recent graduates damaging the school’s water pipeline shortly after finishing their exams.
Acting on the complaint, police launched an intelligence-led operation that resulted in the arrest of three suspects: Rashid Suraj Dakpo, 19; Alhassan Mohammed, 20; and Abdul Kadri Abdulai, 20.
The suspects have been transferred to the Regional Criminal Investigations Department (CID) to assist with investigations and are expected to be prosecuted.
Police expressed concern over the growing trend of students vandalising school property after completing their studies and warned that anyone found engaging in such acts would face legal consequences.
Authorities also revealed that efforts are ongoing to identify and arrest other individuals captured in the viral video.
The Volta North Regional Police Command further called on parents, guardians, and educators to continue guiding young people on the importance of responsible behaviour and the consequences of vandalism.
