Thugs invade Tamale Girls
International School
Tamale, June 6, Ghanadot/GNA - The Tamale Girls
International School Complex (TAGIS) in the Tamale
Metropolis is being invaded and harassed by thugs who
disturb the peace and disrupt teaching and learning.
Mr. Albert Atutiga, Proprietor of the school told the GNA in
Tamale on Friday that the presence of the thugs was
impacting negatively on the school's academic work and
education in the area.
He said though the school was fenced, the activities of the
thugs who had been engaging in "wee" smoking and other
anti-social activities had burnt one of the dormitories and
a store room last week, which were still under police
investigations.
Mr. Atutiga said, "because we are a girls' school and in the
middle of the town, we are very strict about boys entering
the campus during odd hours. I believe that is why some of
the boys around are not comfortable with the measure and had
to resort to harassment."
He said because of the current harassment, management had
increased and intensified both its daily and night security,
which included police personnel and expressed the hope that
the situation would improve.
Meanwhile, unapproved kiosks invade the entire school, some
of which are even on pavements constructed by the Tamale
Metropolitan Assembly for school children and other
pedestrian crossing and nothing was being done about.
One of the kiosks is very close the school's gate and making
entrance to school difficult and was also used as a ploy
base for men to lure girls out of the campus.
Though the Tamale Metropolitan Chief Executive (MCE), Mr.
Mohammed Amin Adam, said early this year during the Veterans
Day celebrations that the Assembly would demolish all
authorised kiosks around the Kaladan area, nothing had been
done about it.
