KMA Mayor recalls what embattled Obuasi SHTS headmaster told him about alleged sexual abuse (Video)

Kumasi Metropolitan Chief Executive (MCE) Richard Ofori Agyemang Boadi revealed his conversation with Zakaria Abdulai, the suspended headmaster of Obuasi Senior High Technical School (SHTS), regarding alleged sexual abuse of female students. Mr Boadi initially heard the rumors during a visit to Obuasi and advised the school authorities to keep female students away from the headmaster's bungalow until the allegations were resolved.

Mr Abdulai denied the allegations, stating he was facing resistance while trying to enforce discipline at the school. Boadi reported the matter to the Ashanti Regional Director of Education, who informed him that investigations were ongoing but no concrete evidence had been found at the time. The Regional Director also suggested the allegations could be linked to the headmaster's new standards at the school.

Boadi said he didn't hear any updates on the issue until the Ghana Education Service suspended the headmaster, following the recent interdiction.
