However, the Statue of Mensah Sarbah has reportedly been stolen by the Vandals and the &#8216;Vikings&#8217; (Opko mates) of the Mensah Sarbah hall are using all means possible to evade the Hall of the Vandals in an attempt to take back their statue. <\/p>\n<p>This escalated the violence further. The police have since been called to the campus. However, there are currently not enough policemen around to curb the unrest in any way or form as only one police vehicle was seen at the time of compiling this report. It is believed the police on site have called for reinforcement after their initial reconnaissance. <\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/tc_oceans\/status\/1555743473772466177?t=ivuMy6zLs0xtdMIvVK7dyw&#038;s=19\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">Watch video here. <\/a><\/p>\n<p>TC.Oceans <\/p>\n<p>Content created and supplied by: TC.Oceans (via  Opera<br \/>\nNews )<\/p>\n<\/article>\n<p class=\"copyright hide\">\n<span class=\"content\">    ,  .   ,     .
