According to GES, management interdicted Isaac Yankey and Palance Kwakye pending the outcome of the investigations.

Interdiction means the two staff members have been temporarily removed from their duties while the matter is being investigated.

The step is not a finding of guilt, and the allegations against the teachers have not been proven. GES did not state how long the interdiction would last.

Further details of the alleged incident were also not provided in the statement. The statement has since gained traction on Facebook, where one post attracted over 1,400 reactions and 330 comments.

Below is the GES statement announcing the interdiction of the two teachers.

GES said the matter was referred to the police for investigation after management received the report. The two teachers have since been arrested by the police in connection with the alleged incident.

It is unclear whether they have been charged or remain in custody. At the time of writing, the police had not publicly commented on the case.

The service said the alleged victim has been provided with psychosocial support to safeguard his well-being.

Psychosocial support typically includes counselling and emotional care to help a person cope with a distressing experience.

Management also assured the public that appropriate measures would continue to be taken. The statement said this was to ensure that all students learn in a safe and supportive environment.

The Aduman SHS case comes as GES continues to deal with a separate case at Obuasi Senior High Technical School (SHTS).

Headmaster Zakaria Abdulai was interdicted after two former students filed complaints against him. The headmaster has denied any wrongdoing, and the police are investigating the matter.

An earlier GES committee report said the evidence it reviewed did not substantiate the allegations. Gender Minister Dr Agnes Naa Momo Lartey has said her ministry is working with the Domestic Violence and Victim Support Unit (DOVVSU) and the Ghana Health Service on the case.
