Three Students of Salaga Senior High School in the East Gonja Municipality of the Savannah Region who were remanded by the Salaga Magistrate Court for unlawful possession of firearm have been slapped with a GHC1,200 fine each.

In default, they will serve a prison term of 6 months.

The accused persons also signed a bond of good behavior for twelve months (12 months), or in default serve a prison sentence of 12 years.

All three accused persons earlier pleaded guilty to unlawful possession of firearm.

Twenty students of Salaga Senior High school were arrested by Police in Salaga on February 4, after engaging in a free for all fight.

One person sustained various degrees of injury after he was stabbed multiple times.

A locally manufactured pistol and one round of ammunition was also retrieved. The incident was condemned by school authorities and other stakeholders in the community.

“We have handed them over to the Police and hope they screen them and those found culpable to be made to face the full rigors of the law,” a Police source said.

“We are disappointed in the actions of the students,” he said.
