The specific identities of the suspects have not been released by the authorities pending further investigation into the motives behind the incident. A report from Citi Newsroom indicates that the police secured the perimeter of the facility shortly after the disturbance occurred to prevent further violence and collect witness statements.
Police officials stated that the suspects remain in custody at a district station within the Tamale metropolis.
