KODIE, ASHANTI REGION — A profound sense of shock and outrage has gripped the educational community in Ghana following the arrest and subsequent court remand of two senior staff members at Aduman Senior High School.
The suspects—identified as 39-year-old school chaplain Isaac Yankey and 37-year-old ICT teacher Kwabena Kwakye Palance—were taken into custody following explosive allegations of sexual misconduct involving a male student.
The unsettling case came to light after the mother of the victim, a final-year student preparing for his West African Senior School Certificate Examination (WASSCE), grew deeply concerned upon finding her son home and unwell. Her persistent inquiries revealed the alleged ordeal, prompting a public outcry and an appeal for intervention.
Acting swiftly on the intelligence, the Afigya Kwabre South District Director of Education, David Akomea, alongside Public Relations Officer Kwabena Obeng Frimpong, formally lodged a complaint at the Kodie District Police Command. The case was subsequently escalated to the Ashanti North Regional Criminal Investigations Department (CID).
On November 12, 2026, the accused educators were arraigned before the Nsuta Circuit Court, presided over by His Honour Nketia Galga. Both suspects have been remanded into police custody as comprehensive inquiries proceed.
In response to the scandal, the Ghana Education Service (GES) acted swiftly, placing both teachers under immediate interdiction pending the conclusion of administrative and criminal proceedings. Education authorities confirmed that the affected student has been extended vital psychosocial support to aid in his recovery and safeguard his overall well-being.
The Ashanti North Regional Police Command has reassured the public of a thorough, professional investigation to guarantee that justice is fully served.
