Volta regional Minister Helen Adjoa Ntosu has called for the need to re-train Police officers in the region on crowd management to avoid a repetition of the St. Pauls Senior High School (SHS) shooting inciden<\/span>t<\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\n

[contextly_sidebar id=”YUPxbzETSva6zSA4WRiB4Xf1NzreHzl6″]A student was shot and killed by the Police during a demonstration by students of the\u00a0St. Pauls High School over the failure of \u00a0school authorities to deal with students who engaged in homosexual acts.<\/p>\n

Speaking in an interview with Citi News<\/strong> the Volta Regional Minister insisted that even though the incident does not threaten the security in the area the Police must be reminded of the rules of engagement.<\/p>\n

She noted that during the St. Paul’s incident, the students were harmless hence the police shouldn’t have gone there \u201cwith live ammunition but with rubber bullets or water cannons.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThat\u2019s the reason why we are really worried that the officers went there with live ammunition. There is a need to remind them that in such situations they have to be careful,\u201d she added.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, the Police have arrested three of its officers<\/strong><\/a><\/span> who were allegedly involved in the shooting incident.<\/p>\n
