Education Minister, Dr Yaw Osei Adutwum, has extended his condolences to the management of Aburi Girls Senior High School (SHS) and the family of the student who tragically passed away.

After a visit to the school last Friday, Dr Adutwum took to X, formerly known as Twitter, to express his sorrow over the incident.

“I express my deepest condolences to Aburi Girls Senior High School and the family of the student who tragically passed away.

“This loss is truly heartbreaking, and my thoughts are with all those affected by this tragic event,” he wrote.

The first-year student, Stacy Okyere, tragically passed away on Sunday, February 4, after complaining of stomach pains.

The school authorities have faced criticism amid allegations that Stacy was denied medical attention by the school nurse, who accused her of repeatedly feigning illness.

In response to the incident, the Criminal Investigations Department (CID) of the Ghana Police Service has initiated investigations into the circumstances surrounding Stacy’s death.
