Some male students believed to be residents of Unity Hall (Conti) of the Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology (KNUST) have been caught on video harassing female students assigned rooms at the hall.
The 2,000-capacity hall was an all-male residence but management of the university recently converted it into a mixed hall, together with University Hall (Katanga), in order to boost the female population on campus.
In a 30-second video that has gone viral on social media, about a dozen male students were seen chasing and mobbing some female students, as the girls tried escaping from them.
One frightened female student bolted from the scene and another female who tried to free herself after an attempt by one male student to grope her, lost her balance and fell flat on the floor.
The male students, some bare-chested, kept screaming and running after the visibly frightened females.
Meanwhile, some disgruntled members of the public have taken to social media to express their disappointment about the failure of university authorities to ensure the safety of female occupants of the hall.

Lol.. it's not what it seems since I'm a girl in conti and i was there. They weren't harassing any girls. It was an attempt to grind which we even saw as funny. There's nothing more to it. Please try to get the correct version of events and stop scaring our parents.
I just laughed.This is nothing actually. We did funny things more than the n the early 80s at the university of cape coast. Nothing really is happening there.Np worries parents and guardians
Thanks for your concern and interest in this matter. To allay your fears, this happened Monday night after the Freshers Orientation. Lecturers were present together with other Fellows of the Hall. After the Orientation, the Freshers danced to pre-recorded music. A few of the ladies participated while others stood by. Then came the music track “One Corner”. The boys tried to dance with the ladies. It was all fun with no danger at all. We all know how our youngsters dance to that music. In the process, one of the ladies accidentally fell down. This is the full account of what happened. So please no worries; no one should read any meanings in to this. Authorities are firmly in control of affairs, This is an assurance you all. Once again thanks for your massive support.
this act is primitive and uncivilized, this guys must be talked to. u do this if you are caught and suspended what will you do?the earlier it gets into students head the better, that institutions do not belong to them, and management of them is not their duty. if they cant cohabitate with females they should pack off.
It is time our media houses do some investigative journalism. In their bid to inform the public, they end up feeding them with untruth and panic creating stories. Their interpretation of the video is unfortunate. They should remember that some of the lecturers and school authorities have their children and families in the school and halls.
avoidable
I expect the students to be sens1ble enough to know that as time goes on there is the need to also change . The authorities must take this serious and sanction the students that are doing that . were they there to learn or to harass fellow female students .
This is barbaric. The students identified should be sanctioned to serve as a deterrent to others.
