The incident reportedly occurred amid a dispute over a large parcel of land where a demolition exercise was being carried out. Tensions escalated when some aggrieved residents reacted angrily to the demolitions and allegedly attacked the local police station.
Police officers moved in to restore order and fired warning shots to disperse the crowd. During the chaos, the student—identified as Nii Lamptey—was hit by a stray bullet.
Reports indicate he was not part of the confrontation and had stepped out nearby at the time of the incident.
The injured student was rushed to the University of Ghana Medical Centre in Accra for emergency treatment. His condition has not yet been officially disclosed, but he is receiving medical care as authorities monitor his situation.
The shooting has sparked concern among residents, especially given the circumstances under which the bullet struck an innocent bystander.
Authorities are expected to launch investigations into the incident to determine the exact sequence of events and whether proper protocols were followed during the police response.
This incident adds to growing concerns about the dangers of stray bullets during security operations and civil disturbances, where unintended victims often suffer serious consequences.
