Videos of Alleged “Fortifications” Raise Tension Between Two Islamic SHSs in Kumasi
Students of Islamic Senior High School and Sakafia Islamic Senior High School in Kumasi have drawn public attention after videos they shared on social media suggested preparations for a possible inter-school confrontation.
In the widely circulated clips, the students are seen displaying what they refer to as “fortifications,” a term that has alarmed viewers and sparked intense discussion online. The footage has fueled fears that tensions between the two schools could escalate into violence if not addressed promptly.
Parents, school administrators, and members of the public have expressed concern over the development, calling for swift intervention to prevent any breakdown of discipline or threats to student safety. Many have emphasized that schools should remain safe learning environments, free from fear and intimidation.
Education stakeholders are urging calm while appealing to authorities to investigate the situation thoroughly. They have also stressed the importance of guidance, counseling, and effective supervision to discourage students from engaging in actions that could endanger lives or damage school reputations.
As discussions continue, there are growing calls for collaboration between school management, parents, religious leaders, and security agencies to defuse tensions and reinforce peaceful conflict resolution among students. The incident has once again highlighted the powerful role of social media in amplifying student actions and the need for responsible digital behavior within the school system.
