According to the UPSA statement sighted by YEN.com.gh on the school's official website, the perpetrator has been identified, and it's been confirmed that she is not a regular student.

However, the school mentioned that actions would be taken to ensure she is brought to book and sanity continues to prevail in the school with 20,000 students.

"Our preliminary investigation has revealed that the culprit is in a special non-tertiary programme in preparation for an external professional examination. Upon completion of the investigation, all responsible persons will face the full rigor of sanctions," portions of the statement read.

UPSA warns male students about stalking ladies on campus

In another update, the administration has cautioned male students at the University of Professional Studies in Accra not to engage in romantic relationships with female students there.

According to a video seen by YEN.com.gh on the TikTok account of @voice of KNUST, a middle-aged woman was supposedly warned by a member of the school administration that it is okay for students to date each other on campus.

She was, however, quick to add that in the university, no means no and hence guys who a lady rejects should accept it in good faith and not think of stalking her.
