The disturbing video, which surfaced recently, shows a student wielding a machete and flogging two of his colleagues.
In a statement issued by the school, the perpetrators have been identified as final-year students Haleem Jibril, Ahmed Dauda, and Richard Ninsin, along with first-year student Shadad Aliu.
The victims, all first-year students, have been named as Samuel Ussher, Kingsford Quayson, Stephen Oteng, and Dominic Awuku Adjei.
