The KPANTECH students were reported to have vandalised the dormitories, school walls and sign boards of Kpando Senior High School (KPANSEC).

Police have tightened security at Kpando Senior High School (KPANSEC) following an alleged attack by some male students of Kpando Technical Institute (KPANTECH) on Saturday.

The students were reported to have vandalised the dormitories, school walls and sign boards of Kpando Senior High School (KPANSEC).

The Kpando Senior High School is situated directly opposite the Kpando Technical Institute in the Volta region.

There has been some rivalry between the two schools over the years.

A teacher at KPANSEC told Accra-based Joy FM that the violence occurred after some old students of KPANSEC engaged in a fight with students from KPANTECH.

"The KPANTECH boys recognized some of the boys who are old students of our school so they vented their anger on our students when they came back from town," he said.

"They tried to organize themselves again this afternoon and that was when the police and authorities came in and calmed them down," he added.

Meanwhile, students at KPANSEC have been urged by school authorities not to retaliate as police investigate the incident.
