Obuasi SHS Technical Headteacher Hospitalised After Alleged Attack by Students Over Fetus Burial Claims

The Headteacher of Obuasi Senior High Technical School, Abdulai Zakaria, is currently receiving treatment at the Komfo Anokye Teaching Hospital in Kumasi after he was allegedly attacked by a group of students following claims that he buried a fetus.

The incident reportedly occurred after rumours spread among students that the headteacher had been seen burying what was believed to be a fetus in a nearby bush.

Some students further alleged that the discovery was linked to a suspected abortion involving a student of the school, triggering anger and tension on campus.

According to sources who spoke to JoyNews, the situation escalated in the early hours of Wednesday when a group of students allegedly mobilised and confronted Mr. Zakaria over the claims.

The confrontation reportedly turned violent, resulting in the headteacher being assaulted and sustaining injuries that required immediate medical attention. Some school property was also damaged during the disturbance.

Mr. Zakaria was later transported to the Komfo Anokye Teaching Hospital in Kumasi, where he is currently undergoing treatment. His condition has not yet been officially disclosed.

Following the unrest, the police moved in with a heavy presence to restore order at the school. Officers have reportedly exhumed a body believed to be that of a baby from the location identified by the students as part of ongoing investigations.

Academic activities at Obuasi Senior High Technical School have been disrupted, with teaching and learning temporarily halted as authorities investigate the matter. Students remain under increased security as officials work to establish the facts.

The police have not yet released an official statement confirming the circumstances surrounding the alleged discovery or the accusations levelled against the headteacher. The claims remain subject to investigation.
