The Council of Imams and Zongo Chiefs in the Ashanti Region has condemned a video that went viral on social media showing female students of the Islamic Senior High School (ISSEC) twerking to the ‘One Corner’ song.
The council has however called for considerate punishment to be meted out to the students to serve as a deterrent to their colleagues.
 The council expressed its displeasure over the matter describing the actions of the students as uncultured.
Secretary to the council, Ustaz Ahmed Seidu, in a radio interview said the video was obscene and must be pulled down from social media.
According to him, the actions exhibited by the students are against the doctrines of the Islamic religion.
He indicated that education must reflect the attitude of young people in the society since it is aimed at making them physically and morally upright.
Ustaz Seidu stated that the council will engage with school authorities to find a softer punishment for the students.

He stressed that the council will not suggest the sacking of the students, but a punishment that will teach them some lessons, since they were final year students.
“They should be punished to serve as a deterrent to others. As a council, we will try to sit with the authorities and see a punishment that will be mild. We are not calling for them to be expelled from school because we are told they are final year students. So they should be made to write their exams.â€
The 13 students, comprising nine females and four males, are facing the school’s Disciplinary Committee for appearing in the video.
The students were said to have taken the video and shared it on their personal Facebook pages and on YouTube.
The circulation of the video prompted a swift action by school authorities who summoned them for interrogation. Parents of the students were invited by school authorities on Tuesday for a meeting which lasted for hours.
According to management, it would wait for the outcome of investigations from the committee before taking a decision on the matter.
