The Wenchi Municipal Directorate of the Ghana Education Service (GES) in the Bono Region has launched an inquiry into a concerning incident involving a teacher at St. Paul’s Anglican Basic School.

The teacher is alleged to have compelled some students to take an oath in the name of a deity to demonstrate their innocence regarding his missing phone.

The GES has emphasized that if the teacher is found culpable for these actions, he will face appropriate consequences as outlined in the established code of conduct.

David Baffoe, the Public Relations Officer at the Wenchi Municipal Education Directorate, stated that the directorate is committed to uncovering all the facts surrounding the incident.

He stated, “We started the investigations…and we will continue today so that we can establish the facts on the whole matter so that we can communicate appropriately to the public. We are there to make sure that we get the truth from the matter, and if the teacher is found culpable, we will use the established code of conduct against him.”
