The academic community and social media users have been rocked by a viral video showing a fierce, personal altercation between two senior lecturers from the University of Ghana (UG). <\/p>\n

The heated exchange, which occurred off-camera but immediately following a live television broadcast, involved Political Science lecturer Professor Ransford Gyampo and Development Economist\u00a0Dr. George Domfeh and quickly devolved into severe personal insults and unverified allegations.<\/p>\n

The less-than-one-minute video, which began circulating rapidly on November 15, 2025, captured the aftermath of a discussion on TV3 on Saturday, November 15, where the disagreement shifted abruptly from political analysis to personal attacks, raising serious questions about the conduct and professional integrity of senior faculty members.<\/p>\n

The initial confrontation, which occurred shortly after their on-air discussion concluded, was triggered by Dr. Domfeh, a senior lecturer at UG, who targeted Professor Gyampo\u2019s history and perceived political leanings. <\/p>\n

Professor Gyampo is not only a respected lecturer at the Political Science Department but also serves as the Chief Executive Officer of the Ghana Shippers Authority.<\/p>\n

Dr. Domfeh was heard making pointed allegations about Prof. Gyampo\u2019s past leadership role in the University Teachers Association of Ghana (UG-UTAG).<\/p>\n

Prof. Gyampo, visibly upset by the accusation of political bias, immediately fired back, challenging Dr. Domfeh\u2019s professional standing.<\/p>\n

The hostility did not abate, as subsequent footage\u2014circulating primarily on Facebook\u2014captured the two academics in a frightening near-fistfight scenario, with the production staff intervening to separate them.<\/p>\n

During this intense, physical escalation, Dr. Domfeh further levelled allegations against Prof. Gyampo regarding professional conduct with students.<\/p>\n

The circulation of the video has drawn a wave of strong negative reactions online. <\/p>\n

Netizens and the academic community have widely expressed disappointment and embarrassment that two senior lecturers, expected to embody intellectual discourse and professional decorum, resorted to such crude behaviour in public.<\/p>\n

The incident underscores the tension often found in Ghanaian political and academic discourse, where debates frequently slide into personal and sometimes unverified accusations. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
