Obuasi Senior High Technical School (SHTS) headmaster Zakaria Abdulai has pledged to use all lawful means to clear his name following accusations of sexual abuse involving female students at the institution. In a letter to the NDC General Secretary, Abdulai announced his resignation from his position as Secretary of the National Democratic Congress (NDC) in the Juaben Constituency and his withdrawal from the race for constituency chairmanship.
The allegations, which involve more than 14 female students, have sparked demands for accountability and a comprehensive investigation. Despite maintaining his innocence, Abdulai expressed gratitude to those who have supported him during this difficult time, including friends, relatives, and well-wishers. The NDC National Chairman and Ashanti Regional Chairman have been informed of his decision.
The National Association of Graduate Teachers (NAGRAT) has called for Abdulai's removal and questioned the response of Ghana Education Service officials in Obuasi regarding the handling of the case. The investigation into the allegations is ongoing.
