Kwahu: Six schools shut down over Fulani attacks
Six schools serving 15 communities in the Kwahu
East district of the Eastern region have been
closed down due to what the residents say is the
danger posed by the activities of Fulani
herdsmen.

According to reports, the Fulani herdsmen have
been terrorizing residents, mainly farmers, by
attacking and harming them on their farms.

Eastern Regional PRO of the GES Emmanuel Asiedu
Acheampong who spoke to Starr News said over 1000
pupils including final year JHS students have been
forced to stay at home.

He added that the students are scared they will be
attacked by the nomadic herdsmen if they go to
school.

“They are armed, they attack you on your farm
and if you don’t yield to their demands
sometimes they molest you and…shoot you. They
can kill you if you resist them…it is affecting
economic activities.”
