  "account": "Professor Samuel Erasmus Alnaa, Vice-Chancellor of Bolgatanga Technical University (BTU), was denied access to his office despite a High Court ruling. The court had previously quashed the University Council's decisions to terminate his appointment and suspend two other senior officers. Alnaa and the two officers, Samuel Aduko and Tom Mboya Asigri, reported to the university on Monday to resume work but found their offices inaccessible due to the keys not being handed over to them. They subsequently met with the Registrar, Richard Abugre Atiah, who informed them that the university could not act on the court's decision or GTEC directives due to pending legal processes. A notice of appeal and a stay of execution notice from the council prevented the university from implementing the court decision. Alnaa expressed concern over the ongoing dispute affecting the university's atmosphere and unity efforts.",
