Singer Sister Derby has spoken out on the sexual abuse allegations at Obuasi Senior High Technical School (SHTS), slamming those who prioritize defending the accused over protecting victims. In a scathing post on social media, the musician questioned why some people don't care about the well-being of young boys, girls, and women, and asserted that defending a person accused of rape multiple times is foolish.
Sister Derby emphasized the importance of standing up against sexual violence and rebuked those who try to silence advocates and protect alleged predators. She firmly stated that it is better to defend a liar than to defend a rapist. The ongoing controversy centers around Zakaria Abdulai, the headmaster of SHTS, who has been suspended by the Ghana Education Service following allegations of sexual misconduct against female students.
These allegations were brought to light by journalist Manasseh Azure Awuni in a documentary titled "Inside the Dreaded Headmaster's Bungalow," which detailed accusations of sexual harassment, assault, and rape targeting around 19 students at the school. The situation has sparked a broader conversation about the prevalence of pedophilia and sexual predators in Ghana, and the need for better safeguards for students and the accountability of educational authorities.
