Police Slapped Jasikan College Of Education, SRC President
According to reports from the Jasikan College of Education in the Oti region, the school's SRC president, Freeman Zokah, was previously arrested by police.
In a viral video, a police officer allegedly slapped the SRC president before arresting him. There were roughly six police policemen surrounding the SRC president at that particular moment.
It all started when students at Jasikan College launched a protest against the school's management over poor living conditions on campus.
According to the student body, they have made a variety of complaints to the college's management but have received no response.
The protest occurred on August 15th, and it resulted in the arrest and assault of their Student Representative Council (SRC) President, Freeman Zokah.
The students' demonstration was sparked by a variety of issues that they thought were not being appropriately handled by the college's management.
One of the main issues reported by third-year students was the quality of meals served in the dining hall. They said that the meals did not reach the expected standards and were not nutritionally balanced.
Other issues revealed that sockets and other electrical devices in their dormitories were not working.
As the protests became more intense, management was forced to call the Ghana Police Service. However some students stated, when the police arrived, the SRC president was arrested. According to the student's point of view, police treated him like a criminal.
The SRC president was allegedly slapped by one of the officers in the video, which has gone viral on social media.
When the students realized what was happening to their leader, the protest erupted. They allegedly rushed on the police and organized to get the Student Representative Council (SRC) President released.
