According to JoyNews Investigative Journalist Manasseh Azure Awuni, the number of alleged sexual abuse cases at Obuasi Senior High Technical School has increased to 19 students. Awuni reported that three additional students had come forward with allegations, following a previous count of 16 cases. He stated that the situation had worsened since his last visit to the school in 2018, where a senior housemaster was dismissed.
Awuni expressed concern about the high-profile nature of the allegations against the headmaster, Zakaria Abdulai, and the reluctance of some individuals within the Obuasi community, including members of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), to speak publicly about the issue. While the allegations remain under investigation, Awuni highlighted the importance of addressing such cases to ensure the safety and well-being of students.
