Form three Students of Adu Gyamfi Senior High School (SHS) at
Jamasi in the Sekyere East District of the Ashanti Region welcomed their
juniors back to school with severe beatings in a video that has gone viral.
The less than one minute video
watched by MyNewsGh, revealed some SHS 3 students seriously
flogging their junior colleagues’ students who have been promoted from SHS 1 to
SHS 2 with belts and canes.
Others were seen using their
hands to physically harass the junior ones just to prove to them that they have
now assumed the leadership of the school’s student body.
The form 2 students were forced
to kneel down on the school compound as part of their punishment while
receiving beatings from their senior colleagues in SHS 3.
Students reported to school on
Monday, January 18, 2021, after schools were closed down by government due to
increase of COVID-19 cases.
Attempts by MyNewsGh to get authorities to comment on the
sad development has proven futile.
Meanwhile, some parents have
been compelled by the incident to report the matter to the District Directorate
of the Ghana Education Service (GES) who are promising to investigate the
harassment to the latter.
