“If I Meet Obuasi SHTS Headmaster, I Will Use Pepper Spray on Him” — Hawa Koomson Warns Zakaria

Former Member of Parliament for Awutu Senya East and NPP National Women’s Organiser Mavis Hawa Koomson has reportedly said she would use pepper spray on Obuasi Senior High Technical School headmaster Zakaria Abdulai if she came into contact with him.

GHOne TV reported on Thursday, October 29, 2026, that Koomson made the remark, which has since attracted attention because of its confrontational nature.

However, the available report did not provide sufficient details about the disagreement between Koomson and Abdulai or the events that allegedly prompted her statement. It also did not indicate whether the headmaster had responded.

Koomson is a well-known figure in the New Patriotic Party and has previously served as a legislator and government minister. Her reported comments have sparked discussion about how disputes involving public officials should be handled.

The incident highlights the importance of restraint and peaceful communication when disagreements arise. Such an approach is particularly important when the individuals involved hold public responsibilities or work within educational institutions.

Pepper spray can cause significant discomfort and irritation to the eyes, skin and respiratory system. Any reported threat to use it against another person therefore raises concerns about safety and the need to avoid physical confrontation.

Further statements from Koomson or Abdulai may help clarify the circumstances behind the reported remarks and establish the full context of the matter.
