Mixed Feelings As Government Given November Ending Deadline To Deliver Justice In Obuasi SHTS Abus£

As at November 6, 2026, Ghanaians have taken to social media to share varied reactions after the NPP Women’s Organiser, Mavis Hawa Koomson, gave the government a deadline to deliver justice over the alleged sexual abuse of students at Obuasi Senior High Technical School involving headmaster Dr Zakaria Abdulai.

Madam Koomson announced that the NPP Women’s Wing would petition the President, the Vice President, the Ministry of Gender and the Obuasi Municipal Chief Executive, warning of further action if authorities fail to respond by the end of the month. She also questioned why the headmaster remains free while teachers reportedly implicated in the case have been remanded.

Reactions to the news on the TV3 Ghana page have been mixed. A section of social media users expressed strong support for the call for justice, stressing that the affected girls deserve protection, accountability and swift action. Many insisted that the welfare of the victims must remain a priority and that no one found culpable should escape the law.

Others adopted a more sarcastic tone, suggesting that the intervention was politically motivated. Some commenters argued that newly elected party executives were seeking to assert their relevance and show Ghanaians that they are active. A few also questioned the timing of the deadline, wondering whether it was tied to political calendars rather than a genuine concern for the victims.

There were also users who demanded clarity on the next step should the government fail to meet the deadline, challenging the Women’s Wing to spell out what consequences would follow. Some responses carried a humorous or defiant tone, with a few suggesting more forceful forms of protest.

Despite the divided opinions, the discussion reflects deep public concern about the safety of students in schools. Many Ghanaians believe the case should be handled transparently, without political colouring, so that justice is served and confidence in the education system is restored.
