Meanwhile, the Dean of Students at the University of Ghana, Professor Godfred Bokpin, has called for calm as officials investigate the incident.[ads4]
“I would urge every student to be calm. There should be no panic. The situation is under control. The issue is being investigated by the police, the hall authorities; they are all involved trying to get to the bottom of it.
“While we are at it, I urge every student to keep to their core activities, as it is a packed semester, and they should not feed into the rumours going on. But very soon, our official communication will be issued by the university,” Professor Bokpin said[ads5]
