Teachers of the St. John’s 1 and 2 Primary School in Accra have been disguised to identify the thugs who attacked them at the school premises some weeks ago.
The move is to prevent them from being attacked by the associates of the suspected criminals after the identification parade, which is currently taking place at the Nima Police station.
The Nima Police have assembled 17 individuals suspected to have been involved in the attack.
The St. John’s 1 and 2 Primary and Junior High School in New Town was shut down after cane and knife-wielding thugs attacked and brutalised teachers for punishing one of the students.
Students had to run helter-skelter for their lives as the heavily built men went berserk battering anyone on sight.
According to the teacher responsible for the pupil in question, the student after being freed from her punishment for misbehaving in class, run home and returned in the company of the bulky men, suspected to be her brothers, who then unleashed terror on the teachers.
Several of the teachers and residents who attempted to intervene were injured in the incident and were later treated in a near-by hospital.
