The Minority Women’s Caucus in Ghana has called for an independent inquiry into the handling of alleged sexual abuse at Obuasi Senior High Technical School (SHTS). According to the Caucus, at least 19 girls have accused the school’s headmaster, Zakaria Abdulai, of sexual abuse. The Caucus has demanded an explanation from the responsible ministers about the actions taken by state authorities and the steps taken to address the complaints.
They also want the authorities to protect the affected students and provide them with counselling, medical care, and legal assistance. The Caucus accused the headmaster of interfering with the investigation and questioned why the public explanation on October 20 stated only one complaint despite reports involving 19 girls. They also criticized the National Democratic Congress (NDC) for allowing Abdulai to contest an election while the allegations were pending.
Zakaria Abdulai, the suspended headmaster, has broken his silence, stating that he was granted bail by the police after being cautioned for the alleged rape.
