A 19-year-old final-year student of Peki Senior High School in the Volta Region, Joseph Tsetsekple, has died following an alleged altercation with a fellow student over a schoolbag.
The incident reportedly occurred after Joseph placed his bag on the bed of another student, triggering a disagreement that allegedly escalated into a physical confrontation.
During the altercation, the colleague is said to have pushed Joseph against a wall, causing him to lose consciousness.
Joseph reportedly remained unconscious for several hours as people around him allegedly thought he was pretending.
He was later rushed to the Peki Government Hospital, where he was pronounced dead.
The student allegedly involved in the incident has since been arrested and is assisting the police with investigations.
The circumstances surrounding Joseph’s death remain unclear as investigations continue.
