NDC will not interfere with investigations into Obuasi SHS Headmaster sexual assault probe - Fiifi Kwetey
The National Democratic Congress (NDC) has said it will not interfere with investigations into sexual misconduct allegations against Zakaria Abdulai, headmaster of Obuasi Senior High Technical School and a former Juaben constituency secretary of the party.
Deputy Education Minister Dr Clement Apaak has set the record straight regarding a recent incident at Obuasi Senior High Technical School (SHTS). According to Dr Apaak, the earlier altercation between students and the school's headmaster was not due to sexual abuse, but rather allegations of a fetus burial on the school premises.
"It is important to indicate that while there is a report about an incident in the same school involving the same headmaster, that report was in relation to allegations of the burial of a fetus, which was said to have generated a reaction from a section of the students, leading to an assault on this very same headmaster," Dr Apaak stated on JoyNews’ News Night on October 22, 2026.
The clarification comes as the Ghana Education Service suspends the headmaster, Zakaria Abdulai, pending investigations. The police have forwarded the case to the Attorney-General's office for review.
