A 16-year-old female student at Mpraeso Senior High School (SHS) in the Eastern area is allegedly the victim of gang rape, leading to the arrest of five pupils.
Currently on the run are three additional students who participated in the act.
The victim described her encounter, saying that a male student called her as she was leaving the canteen with her buddy to get lunch.
While approaching him, she saw seven other male students also walk towards them.
According to her, she is not aware of the conversation the suspects had with her friend but she abandoned her as the suspects forcibly had sex with her.
The incident she said occurred on Sunday and there was nobody around to offer help.
“I have been to the hospital for the necessary check up and I want the suspects to face the full rigorous of the law,” she stated.
The headmaster, James Affadu, verified the incident during an interview with Adom News.
Mr. Affadu stated that the disciplinary committee has expelled all eight boys and referred the case to the police for further investigation and appropriate measures.
In the meantime, the Nkwatia Divisional Police Command has not yet processed the suspects for court prosecution.
