Some students of Pope John Senior High School at Koforidua in the Eastern region, have been suspended indefinitely for allegedly engaging in homosexuality.

The pronouncement was made by the disciplinary committee of the all-boys senior high school after two students suspected of practicing the illegal act which goes contrary to the rules of the school and were also accused of initiating other students.

An official of the Ghana Educational Service and a teacher in the school have both confirmed the incident on condition of anonymity to Ultimate FM.

Per Information privy to Ultimate FM indicates that over 19 students were investigated by authorities of the school but the two students became the grand suspects, hence their suspension.

According to the GES official, investigation is still underway with the involvement of their parents adding that punitive actions would be taken if the suspected students are found guilty.

However, Headmistress of Pope John SHS, Benedicta Foli has failed to confirm or deny the story adding that issues concerning the school will not be discussed publicly hence the happening is an internal issue and it will be resolved as such.
