The Ghana Police Service has confirmed the recovery of a newborn baby boy who was allegedly buried on the campus of Obuasi Senior High Technical School, an incident that led to an attack on the school’s headmaster, Mr. Abdulai Zakaria.
The Obuasi Municipal Police Commander, Superintendent Raymond Mahama Iddrisu, disclosed that students of the school assisted police officers in locating the spot where the baby was buried.
“We have found the newborn baby boy who was buried. We are yet to conduct further investigations to establish whether it was the headmaster who buried him or not,” he said.
The discovery comes after a video circulated on social media showing some students allegedly assaulting the headmaster after accusing him of burying the newborn baby on the school compound.
Following the distress call, police officers were deployed to the school to restore calm and prevent further disturbances.
Authorities have begun investigations into the circumstances surrounding the death and burial of the baby, as well as the allegations against the headmaster.
The Police say it is too early to determine who was responsible for the burial until investigations are completed.
The incident has attracted public attention, with many calling for a thorough investigation to uncover the truth while urging students and members of the public to avoid taking the law into their own hands.
