Some students at the Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology (KNUST) have raised concerns about the high level of insecurity on campus.
They have reported incidents of theft where thieves confront students on their way to their hostels and demand money, laptops, and phones from them.
In an interview with Orange News, students expressed how the insecurity on campus is impacting their academic and social lives.
One of the students, Cudjo Blay Hee Jonah highlighted the lack of proper checks on people entering the campus, which he believes allows thieves to target students for theft.
Another student, Josephine shared her belief that security issues are negatively affecting student academics.
She mentioned incidents where students have been robbed and even injured, preventing them from attending classes for weeks.
She recounted a specific incident where a friend was stabbed and robbed of his phone and money.
On his part, Frank also raised concerns about the lack of security measures in certain areas of the campus, such as the new building near the College of Engineering.
He mentioned the absence of lighting and security posts in that area, making it risky for students to return to their hostels after studying at night, as thieves are known to target students using that route.
