Obuasi SHTS: We’ll hold another demo in Accra within 14 days if… – Hawa Koomson

Mavis Hawa Koomson, the National Women's Organiser of the New Patriotic Party, has warned that her party's Women's Wing will hold another demonstration in Accra within 14 days if authorities do not address their concerns regarding the alleged sexual abuse of 19 students from Obuasi Senior High Technical School. Koomson announced this warning during an interview on Adom FM's Dwaso Nsem.

The group intends to proceed with their planned demonstration in Obuasi on Friday, November 6, after obtaining permission from traditional authorities. Following the march, the Women's Wing plans to present petitions to key authorities, including the Municipal Chief Executive, Parent-Teacher Association, Municipal Education Director, and the Ashanti Regional Minister.

Copies of the petitions will also be sent to Vice President Jane Naana Opoku-Agyemang and the Inspector-General of Police. Koomson emphasized that if a satisfactory response is not received within 14 days, the Women's Wing will mobilize supporters for another demonstration in Accra to highlight their concerns. The demonstration aims to seek justice for the 19 students allegedly sexually abused by the school's headmaster, Zakaria Abdulai, and to push for stronger measures to safeguard students in educational institutions.

Koomson reiterated the Women's Wing's determination to seek accountability and continued efforts to ensure the allegations are thoroughly investigated.
