An eyewitness account says some residents of Commonwealth Hall of the University of Ghana and Unity Hall of KNUST who had been invited for a programme at Ogua Hall at UCC ended up attacking one another after a misunderstanding.
The true cause of the violence is yet to be established, but the incident became intense after some residents of ATL Hall also joined the skirmishes.
Several properties belonging to Ogua Hall are reportedly destroyed. The Hall Bus and Vehicles belonging to some lecturers were also vandalised.
