  "account": "Two students from Ada Senior High Technical School have been found guilty by the Ada West District Court following a video that emerged on social media early in May, showing one of them wielding a cutlass and threatening their peers on campus. The two - Oscar Amemasor, 20, and Emmanuel Senunya, 18 - pleaded guilty, resulting in their conviction without the need for further trial. Amemasor and Senunya were charged with assault and abetting assault against another student, with the prosecution alleging Amemasor used a metal bar and Senunya a cutlass. As a result of their conviction, the court mandated the students to sign a 12-month good behavior bond. The four students were initially apprehended by the Tema Regional Police Command after the video surfaced online. Tema Regional Police stated that an immediate police response was initiated upon discovering the video around 12:10 AM on May 22, 2026. A night patrol team was dispatched to the school, leading to the arrest of the four individuals identified in the video. The police emphasized the importance of resolving conflicts through peaceful means and through the school's established channels rather than resorting to violence or intimidation. They also called for enhanced supervision, discipline, and guidance among students to ensure safety and order in educational institutions. The students' lawyer, Enock Teye Sewornu, explained that the decision to change their pleas was made in the students' best interests. Speaking with Citi News, Sewornu noted that the students had just received their exam results and were about to start university. He clarified that the students have been released and are now free to return to their studies.",
