Accra, Oct. 22, GNA- The Domestic Violence and Victim Support Unit (DOVVSU) of the Ashanti South Region, Bekwai, has forwarded the case docket on the alleged rape case of Mr Zakaria Abdulai, the Headmaster of the Obuasi Senior High Technical School to the Attorney General’s office for study and advice.
A statement issued and signed by Assistant Superintendent of Police (ASP) Mr Llyod Baidoo, Public Affairs Unit, Ashanti South Region, on Thursday recalled that on August 4, 2026, a 20-year-old Form Two student of Obuasi SHTS, accompanied by her father reported at the Obuasi DOVVSU.
They lodged a complaint that on July 25, 2026, Mr Abdulai “forcibly” had sexual intercourse with her in his official bungalow on campus.
It said the victim further indicated that she had gone to a spot in the school near the headmaster’s residence where students dry their clothes, to remove her dresses when the headmaster lured her into his residence to undertake an errand for him.
The statement said the victim, upon entering the said residence, Mr Abdulai started to “caress and fondle her against her wish in his sofa.”
“Whilst resisting the suspect’s advances, he dragged her into his bedroom and forcibly had sexual intercourse with her, after which she was given One Hundred Ghana Cedis (GHC100.00) to seal her mouth,” it said.
The statement said the police immediately launched investigations into the incident.
“All the necessary investigative processes, including medical examination, reconstruction of the scene, photographs, and witness statements have been undertaken, and the docket duly forwarded to the Attorney General office for advice and necessary action,” it added.
The police assured the public that “no effort is being spared to get to the bottom of the case.”
The statement assured of the police’s commitment to discharging their responsibilities to create a peaceful environment for all to pursue their ambitions.
