An Assistant Headmaster at Kumasi High School (KUHIS) has temporarily been asked to vacate his post as investigations are been carried out into allegations of sodomy against him.


The Assistant named George Amponsah-Duodu 54-years of age is accused of engaging in the alleged acts with students of the all-male school.

The Regional Education Directorate has referred the matter to the Disciplinary Committee for further investigations.

A letter signed by Regional Director, Mary Owusu Achiaw, to the Ghana Education Service (GES) Council says the action follows accusation by alleged victims.

Appointed a teacher in 1996, Mr. Amponsah-Duodu, who is married with four kids, became Assistant Headmaster on November 12, 2015, after successfully passing an interview.

Among his topmost responsibilities is ensuring general discipline on campus and supervision of administrative and secretarial staff as well as act generally in the absence of the headmaster.

Some students of the all-male school accused the man in charge of their well-being on campus of sodomising them.

At least, four alleged victims, one of them a former student leader, have opened up to school authorities on their ordeal from the teacher.

Acting on the leads, authorities submitted a report to the Ghana Education Service, prompting further investigations.
