A student who was seen on a widely circulated video attacking a junior in a dorm was immediately dismissed from Adisadel College, according to the school’s announcement.
The offender, a final-year student, will be outright dismissed and will only write his final examinations through the West African Examinations Council (WAEC), according to a statement shared on the school’s Twitter account.
The Ghana Education Service and the school’s board of governors will make the final decision regarding the dismissal, according to the institution.
The incident occurred on June 30, 2023, in Quaque House, despite the fact that the video only recently became widely available.
The senior holds the victim from behind and maneuvers him between beds in the aforementioned video before slamming one of the bunk beds in his face.
As other students watch, the area of the face that immediately touched the bed is swelled.
The offending student has been suspended, the person who videotaped the incident and other witnesses who chose not to report it, as well as the house master and his deputy, will all face various degrees of sanctions.
The action was taken after GES issued a statement directing the student’s suspension and requesting that the police be called to the scene because there had been assault.
