O’Reilly
Senior
High
School
in
Okpoi-Gonno,
Ledzokuku-Krowor
Municipal
District,
Accra,
is
once
again
under
scrutiny
following
the
tragic
death
of
a
final-year
student,
Edward
Borketey
Sackey.
Edward
was
stabbed
to
death
yesterday
during
an
argument
with
friends
over
whose
father
was
wealthier.
As
confirmed,
this
incident
marks
the
second
murder
at
the
school,
raising
serious
concerns
about
student
safety
and
the
role
of
the
authorities
in
protecting
the
welfare
of
their
students.
According
to
eyewitnesses,
the
argument
between
Edward
and
his
friends
quickly
escalated,
leading
to
a
physical
confrontation.
In
the
course
of
the
physical
confrontation,
one
of
the
students
pulled
out
a
sharp
object
and
stabbed
Edward
multiple
times.
The
authorities
at
O’Reilly
SHS
have
been
accused
of
neglecting
the
welfare
of
their
students.
This
has
made
some
social
media
users
conclude
that
the
school’s
failure
to
maintain
order
and
provide
adequate
security
contributed
to
the
tragic
outcome.
