The Minister for Gender, Children and Social Protection, Dr. Agnes Naa Momo Lartey, has disclosed that her ministry is working closely with the Ghana Police Service to ensure the arrest of the dismissed Assistant Headmaster of KNUST Senior High School who was captured in a viral video in a compromising situation with a female student.
Dr. Lartey gave the update when Vice President Prof. Jane Naana Opoku-Agyemang paid a courtesy call on her at the ministry on Wednesday, October 1, 2025.
“The recent issue involves the report of the female student at KNUST with the assistant headmaster. Although the Ghana Education Service has already dismissed him, we are collaborating with the police to effect his arrest,” she stated.
The Assistant Headmaster (Academic), Mr. Charles Akwasi Aidoo, was removed from office by the Ghana Education Service (GES) after the video surfaced on social media.
In a statement dated Monday, September 29, GES said it viewed the incident with the utmost seriousness, emphasizing that it is committed to protecting students and safeguarding the integrity of the teaching profession.
“Mr. Aidoo has already been removed from office and barred from entering the school premises while investigations continue. Due process will be followed, and appropriate disciplinary measures will be taken in line with the GES code of conduct,” the statement read.
The Service further assured the public, parents, and stakeholders that it remains steadfast in upholding the highest standards of professionalism, discipline, and child protection in schools, while strongly condemning acts that endanger the safety and dignity of students.
