Students of the University of Ghana have clashed on campus ahead of the University’s matriculation of first-year students for the 2016/2017 academic year.

According to campus-based Radio Universe, the clashes were between students of Commonwealth Hall and Mensah-Sarbah Hall over the route for the procession of their respective level 100s.

The two halls battled it out, throwing stones at each other, forcing companies who had set up their stands to showcase their products to run away for their lives.

A Toyota Corolla car was also set on fire during the clashes.

The campus security appeared helpless in ensuring there was peace until a joint effort by the police service and the Ghana National Fire Service stationed there brought the situation under control.

There is a heavy security presence on the campus following the clash.

The university's Vice Chancellor has also promised to bring the perpetrators of the havoc to book.
