Old Students of Suma Senior High School Condemns Football Clash that Happened Last Friday. 

The Old Students of Suma Senior High School have condemned the unfortunate occurrences that happened in the school last Friday. 

Their condemnation came as a result of the last Friday 8th July 2022 clash that ensued during an inter-school soccer tournament of Zone C competition which saw a clash between the competing school after the game.

The leaders of the Old Students' Association of UMASS in the Jaman North District of the Bono region, have condemned the act, calling on the police, the District Chief Executive, and the Jaman North District Education Directorate to sanction and give appropriate punishment to the perpetrators who may be found guilty of the brawl between the above-mentioned school and Nafana Presby Senior High school (NASEC) which resulted into the damage of three buses belonging to three different schools during the Zone C match of the inter-school games.

In an interview with Mr. Enock Asante Abdulai, the Public Relations Officer (PRO) of the association stated that the association after hearing the chaos that ensued between the two schools deem it very appropriate to condemn the action and call for a strict penalty for all those involved in the unfortunate incidents to serve as a deterrent to others.

In their press statement issued, the association indicated that they are highly disappointed in the act, in a sense that, it looks like "as we are building, others are plucking it down," and this is serving as a great disincentive to SUMOSA. They are asking stakeholders, particularly the school's administration and those with the most clout in the institution, to ensure a thorough investigation is conducted. 

"We further want to state that, whoever is found culpable after the investigation, whether from Sumaman SHS (SUMASS) or Nafana Presby SHS (NASEC) or outside these two schools should be made to pay the full cost of the property destroyed to serve as a deterrent to the would-be offenders. 

The payment for the cost of damaged items by the perpetrators would not only instill discipline in our schools in Ghana but also motivate the Old Students' Association to continue with their good support for their alma mater. 

The Association is keely monitoring this development and is expecting convincing results from the school's authorities and those who matter most in this case to find a lasting antidote to the situation.
