The Ghana Education Service (GES) has interdicted the Headmaster of Obuasi Senior High Technical School, Zakaria Abdulai, over allegations of sexual misconduct involving students.
The interdiction, announced in a statement dated October 14, 2026, takes immediate effect and will remain in force pending a full-scale investigation into the allegations.
According to the GES, the alleged incident reportedly triggered a student rampage at the school, leading to the destruction of school property and other items, as well as the temporary closure of the institution.
Mr Abdulai has been directed to proceed on interdiction immediately and make himself available to assist investigators with the ongoing probe.
He is also required to hand over the administration of the school to the Ashanti Regional Director of Education until further notice.
The Service further disclosed that a formal complaint had been lodged with the police to facilitate investigations into the matter.
In the statement signed by its Head of Public Relations, Daniel Fenyi, the GES reaffirmed its commitment to protecting the safety and welfare of students and staff while upholding professional standards within the education sector.
The allegations against Mr Abdulai have not yet been established, and the ongoing investigation is expected to determine the circumstances surrounding the incident.
