Eleven security men at the Islamic
Senior High School in Kumasi have
been picked up by police following
the disappearance of 43 computers
from the school’s laboratory.
School authorities discovered the
theft of 38 functioning and five faulty
gadgets on Thursday.
Although padlocks to the Computer
Laboratory appeared not to have been
tempered with and remained intact,
authorities were shocked to find a
virtually empty room with the
computers nowhere to be found.
Islamic Senior High School was
among 147 educational institutions
which received computers from
government last year.
The computer laboratory is part of
massive infrastructural development
the school has witnessed in the last
four years.
The Wednesday incident, believed to
be the biggest institutional theft in
the Ashanti Region in recent times,
came just a few days after students
went on vacation.
Nhyira Fm checks revealed the
arrested security officers, some of
whom were on duty at the time of the
theft, have denied involvement.
District Commander, DSP Oduro
Monku, confirmed the incident but
declined to give further details
because police have just launched
investigations into the case. Story
