Obuasi SHTS: NPP demands headmaster's arrest as Women's Wing marches
The NPP Women's Wing marched in Obuasi on Friday under the banner Justice For Our Girls, demanding action if Zakaria Abdulai is found culpable.
The New Patriotic Party has called for the arrest and prosecution of Obuasi Senior High Technical School's suspended headmaster, Zakaria Abdulai, if investigations prove his guilt. This demand came as the party's Women's Wing marched through Obuasi, Ashanti Region, on Friday, November 6, protesting the allegations that Abdulai sexually abused 19 female students.
Mavis Hawa Koomson, the National Women's Organizer, led the demonstration alongside party executives and Adanse constituency representatives. Koomson pleaded with President Mahama, Vice President Jane Naana Opoku-Agyeman, the Inspector-General of Police, and the Gender, Children and Social Protection Minister to ensure the girls' safety and trust in their leaders.
Ashanti Regional Secretary Henry Nana Boakye criticized the government's response and urged security agencies to act if the allegations prove true. Abdulai, who denies the charges, has vowed to clear his name through legal means. The party's Women's Wing plans to continue their protests in Accra within the next 14 days if they do not receive a response.
Dr. Agnes Naa Momo Lartey, the Minister responsible for Gender, Children and Social Protection, and Inspector-General of Police Christian Tetteh Yohuno have been informed of the situation.
