Police Arrest Three Former Hohoe E.P. SHS Students for Destroying School Property

The Volta North Regional Police Command has arrested three former students of Hohoe E.P. Senior High School for allegedly destroying school property after completing their final examinations.

According to a press release issued by the Public Affairs Unit of the Ghana Police Service, the school authorities lodged a complaint on Friday, June 19, 2026, after a viral video showed some former students damaging a water pipeline shortly after writing their last exam.

Following intelligence-led surveillance, police apprehended three suspects identified as Rashid Suraj Dakpo (19), Alhassan Mohammed (20), and Abdul Kadri Abdulai (20). The suspects have been handed over to the Regional Investigations Department to assist with ongoing investigations and are expected to face criminal prosecution.

The Police Command noted that such acts are becoming increasingly common and warned that anyone found engaging in similar behaviour will face the full rigours of the law. Efforts are also underway to arrest the remaining suspects involved in the incident.

The Command further urged parents, guardians, and teachers to continue educating students on the consequences of vandalism and irresponsible post-examination behaviour.
