Two teachers at Obuasi Senior High Technical School have been apprehended by police for their suspected involvement in an assault on the school's headmaster, Abdulai Zakaria. According to investigators, the two unnamed teachers allegedly recruited students to launch an attack on the headmaster, who was hospitalized following the incident on August 5, 2026.
The headmaster accused the teachers of instigating students to carry out the assault, alleging that some students had accused him of practicing rituals and engaging in improper relationships with female students. Obuasi District Police Commander Superintendent Mahama Iddrisu stated that initially, three teachers were taken into custody for questioning, but further investigation focused on the two suspects.
The headmaster was reportedly attacked and required hospitalization. He gave a formal statement to the police, identifying certain students and teachers as the instigators of the violence. Police are awaiting the results of an autopsy and DNA examination on a male foetus discovered on the school premises, which the headmaster claims was buried by students.
Superintendent Iddrisu emphasized that the suspicion surrounding the burial played a role in the attack on the headmaster.
