The family of 16-year-old Stacy Okyere, who tragically passed away at Aburi Girls Senior High School, is demanding an independent investigation into the circumstances surrounding her death.

Mr. Kingsley Okyere, Stacy's father, expressed shock and anger at the school's response to the situation, revealing that they offered to provide a coffin and an ambulance after his daughter's demise.

Stacy, a Form 1 student who had been at the school for just a month, died on February 4, prompting her family to question the school's actions leading up to her death.

Despite denials from a high-ranking source at Aburi Girls Senior High School stating that Stacy did not die on the school premises, Mr. Okyere insists that the school's inaction contributed to his daughter's death.

"The school has killed my child, and when the issue happened, they had the guts to sit me down and tell me they will buy the coffin and provide an ambulance. If I didn’t have money, would I have brought my child to school in the first place?" Mr. Okyere expressed his dismay at the school's response.

He received a call from his daughter's housemistress at 8 pm on Sunday, February 4, instructing him to pick up Stacy due to illness. Despite feeling, it was too late, Mr. Okyere rushed to the school in 34 minutes from Ablekuma, facing police intervention as they recognized it as an emergency.

Upon arrival, he found Stacy lying unconscious on the floor, surrounded by her classmates. The housemistress, however, was seated in another room.

Distraught, Mr. Okyere hurriedly transported Stacy to the Tetteh Quarshie Memorial Hospital in Mampong, but she was confirmed dead on arrival.

The grief-stricken father questioned why the school didn't prioritize taking his daughter to the hospital and expressed frustration about the school's health insurance, which seemingly did not facilitate prompt medical attention.

The family's call for an independent investigation aims to uncover the truth behind Stacy Okyere's untimely death at Aburi Girls Senior High School.
