Mrs. Kate Wilberforce Annan headmistress of Aggrey Memorial Senior High School has confirmed the news that a female student at the school was raped by a security guard at post on Friday, June 17, 2022 on the school grounds.
Early this week, GhanaWeb learned of the alleged sexual assault, which involved the security guard raping the student. The incident raised tensions on campus, with students threatening to demonstrate. Mrs. Wilberforce Annan confirmed the event to GhanaWeb over the phone, saying: “Yes, the incident occurred on Friday night between a female student and a security guard who works here in the school. “On that same night, myself with some other students took the victim to hospital for medical checkup and came back the next morning. The case is now at the Kotokuraba Police station and that’s all I can tell you for now.”
In view of this, GhanaWeb’s regional correspondent followed up to the Police station for further clarification on the case but the officer in charge declined to speak. She directed the correspondent to DSP Irene Serwaa Oppong, the Central Regional PRO of the Ghana Police Service but similarly, she also declined to speak. GhanaWeb was further directed to speak with DCOP Kwesi Ofori, Director General of Public Affairs of the Ghana Police Service on the issue.
Aggrey Memorial SHS is a mixed public school with over two thousand students in the Central Regional capital. It is a category B school that places high premium on educating students in the Arts and Sciences.
