The Ghana Legal Council has recommended the withdrawal of the 10 students from school after being illegally admitted into the Ghana Law School.
This was found in a report by the committee of inquiry which was set up by the Ghana Legal Council.

The Council also directed that then Ag. Director of the Ghana School of Law, Maxwell Opoku-Agyemang, the Registrar and the Deputy Registrar should be subjected to disciplinary proceedings.

Council decided that the ten (10) students who were identified in the Committee of Inquiry’s report as having been admitted illegally by the then Acting Director, Maxwell Opoku Agyemang, should be withdrawn immediately from the Ghana School of Law.
The Secretary to the General Legal Council was to convey this decision to the students.
Council constituted a three-member Disciplinary Committee made up of Amoak Afoko, Kwaku Gyau Baffour and Professor Raymond Atuguba to subject the then Ag. Director of the Ghana School of Law, Maxwell Opoku- Agyemang, the Registrar and the Deputy Registrar to disciplinary proceedings.”. the report indicated.
