GhanaWeb picked up information about the said sexual violation early this week, about how the security man raped the student which led to tensions on campus with students threatening to protest.
Confirming the incident to GhanaWeb in a phone call, Mrs. Wilberforce Annan stated: “Yes, the incident happened on Friday night between a female student and a security man who works here in the school.
“On that same night, myself with some other students took the victim to the hospital for a medical checkup and came back the next morning. The case is now at the Kotokuraba Police station and that’s all I can tell you for now.”
