President of the Conference of Heads of Assisted Secondary Schools (CHASS), Reverend Father Stephen Owusu Sekyere, has strongly condemned the fondling of a female student by the Assistant Headmaster of KNUST Senior High School, Charles Akwasi Aidoo.
His reaction follows the circulation of a viral video showing Mr Aidoo in a compromising situation with the student.
Speaking to the media, Rev. Father Sekyere expressed his shock and disappointment.
“I saw it a couple of days ago. I was speechless. I must say that I didn’t know what to say. I couldn’t watch it again because I didn’t want to see it again. It’s something that no one else would like to see. I must condemn it in all certain terms. I don’t want to even watch the video again, something that shouldn’t happen in any senior high school in this country.”
Meanwhile, the Ghana Education Service (GES) has removed Mr Aidoo following the circulation of the video on social media.
In a statement issued on Monday, September 29, the Service said it views the incident with “utmost seriousness” and has taken immediate steps to safeguard students.
“Mr Aidoo has already been removed from office and prohibited from going to the school while thorough investigations are being carried out,” the statement, signed by GES Head of Public Relations Daniel Fenyi, said.
GES further assured parents, stakeholders, and the public that due process will be followed.
“The appropriate disciplinary action will be taken in accordance with the code of conduct of the Ghana Education Service.”
