The management of Ledumang Senior School was forced to shut down the school yesterday for an unspecified period, after students attacked teachers out of the blue.

School property was vandalised by students during this unexpected spate of hooliganism.  The clashes reportedly began when the students were about to have their tea-break at 10am. It is alleged that a group of Form Five students rushed towards the serving baskets and scrambled for bread. They then pelted teachers with the bread and stones. The shocked teachers and kitchen staff who were caught unaware, rushed into the staff room and locked themselves inside.

The students proceeded to break windows and lightbulbs in classrooms. They also broke the window of a teacher's vehicle. Deplorably, they then threw stones at each other, until a group of police officers, armed with riot shields and tear gas arrived at the school to disperse the crowd and control the situation.
