Two teachers at Obuasi Senior High Technical School have been arrested by police in connection with an alleged assault on the school's headmaster, Abdulai Zakaria. The incident took place on August 5, 2026, following tensions on campus. According to police, the teachers allegedly recruited students to attack the headmaster, who was hospitalized with machete injuries.
Zakaria accused some students of involvement in ritual activities and inappropriate relationships with female students. Initially, three teachers were questioned, but investigations focused on two of them, who are expected to face court. The headmaster's statement to the police included the names of students and teachers involved in the attack.
Police are also awaiting the results of an autopsy and possible DNA examination on a male foetus found on the school campus. The foetus was exhumed from the grounds and is currently being preserved at Obuasi Government Hospital for further investigation.
