Beyond the security services, the Oforikrom Member of Parliament tasked education authorities to ban schools involved in these fracases.
“The authorities should also ban some of the schools who engage in some of these things. If at least you are banned for one year or two years…you will conduct yourself well so that we will not see these things.”
