The Senior Housemaster at Kalpohin Senior High School in Tamale is facing allegations of negligence resulting in the tragic death of a 17-year-old student.

The incident, reported to the Northern Regional Police Command, unfolded when the student, entrusted to his peers' care, was supposed to be taken to the hospital with an exeat signed by the senior housemaster for medical attention.

The 17-year-old student, who tragically passed away on Sunday night, had been witnessed vomiting by Moses Baffoe, a Tamale resident, at the school's entrance while on his way home. Despite two unsuccessful attempts to alert the senior housemaster to the situation, the housemaster arrived on the third attempt, only to find that the student had already been taken to the Tamale Teaching Hospital for medical attention.

Upon discovering that the student had lost his life before reaching the hospital, Mr. Baffoe reported the senior housemaster to the police for negligence.
