It all happened when the apparent victim, Hakeem's best friend (name withheld) was caught in the act with another student in the school's washroom last month.

After they were allegedly caught in the act, the accused gay students were beaten to a pulp by the other students on the campus of the renowned school in the Ghanaian capital and are as a result, currently on admission at a nearby health institution.

According to information available to this reporter, the hospital's location has been hidden from the public for fear of persecution as the student body continues to express their anger.

"Many students are still angry that perpetrators of what they consider a heinous atrocity live and study among us. They don’t want them anywhere near campus again," one angry student said openly.

As if beating and hospitalising the alleged gays was not enough, the IPMC student marched to the second accused, Kwabena Arthur's residence, which is barely 500 meters away from campus, with the motive to beat him too but luckily he was out of the country for a family vacation.

The youth then told everyone in the vicinity that the student was gay adding that his gay partner was caught in the act with another student and, therefore, deserves to be punished.
