A
16-year-old
general
arts
female
student
(name
withheld)
at
Mpraeso
Senior
High
School
in
the
Eastern
region
is
alleged
to
have
been
raped
by
eight
boys.
Five
out
of
the
eight
boys
who
are
also
students
at
the
school
have
been
arrested
and
are
in
custody
at
Nkwatia
Divisional
Police
Command
whilst
the
other
three
are
at
large.
Attempt
to
speak
with
the
headmaster,
James
Affadu
proved
futile,
yet
he
has
confirmed
the
incident
in
an
audio
Onua
News
has
intercepted.
The
incident
according
to
him,
occurred
on
Sunday,
October
6
but
because
he
wasn’t
around
at
the
time
the
school
delayed
in
reporting
the
case
to
the
Police.

SHS
He,
however,
stressed
the
disciplinary
committee
of
the
school
has
dismissed
the
eight
male
students
as
well
as
reported
the
case
to
the
Ghana
Education
Service
(GES)
for
further
investigation.
The
mother
of
the
form
two
female
student
in
an
interview
on
Yensempa
show
on
Onua
FM,
Wednesday,
October
16
revealed
her
daughter
called
her
complaining
of
illness
and
that
she
had
to
come
to
the
school
urgently.
She
went
to
the
school
on
Monday,
October
14
only
for
her
daughter
to
narrate
her
ordeal.
She
hastily
reported
the
case
to
Mpraeso
Police
station
which
led
to
the
apprehension
of
the
five
male
students.
Madam
Owusua
indicated
that
her
daughter’s
condition
is
quite
good
after
sending
her
to
the
hospital,
but
she
wants
GES
to
probe
the
incident
and
get
justice
for
the
daughter.
In
the
end,
it
wasn’t
death
that
surprised
me
but
the
stubbornness
of
life!
