In other related developments, the Municipal Chief Executive (MCE) for West Gonja Municipal Assembly, Saeed Muhazu Jibreel, has revealed that about 13 students have been identified to have masterminded the rioting in the Ndewura Jakpa Senior High School on Tuesday.
He said disciplinary action will be taken against the suspect in opportune time.
According to the MCE, the authorities are delaying in arresting the suspects because it could cause another rioting which can mar the final examination.
