A Junior High School 1 student is in critical condition after a female colleague slashed him with a cutlass for allegedly touching her br£ast repeatedly during a school clean-up exercise.
The 15-year-old Junior High School 2 female student of Assin Krofofrodo D/A Basic School in the Assin North District of the Central Region, Ghana had repeatedly warned the victim against the act, but he defied the warning.
School authorities had instructed the students to weed the overgrown school compound using cutlasses.
According to the girl’s account, the boy repeatedly played with and touched her br3ast while they were working.
The girl said she repeatedly warned the boy to stop touching and playing with her breasts.
However, she alleged that the boy, who was determined to “take a feel” of her br3asts, ignored her warnings and continued the inappropriate conduct.
Enraged by his actions, the girl picked up a cutlass and slashed the boy on his inner wrist.
The victim sustained a deep cutlass wound and was rushed to a nearby hospital for medical treatment after bleeding profusely.
The parents of the injured boy have accused the school authorities of negligence, alleging that they showed no concern after the incident occurred during school hours.
According to the parents, the authorities allegedly failed to take immediate action or rush the boy to the hospital after he sustained cutlass injuries.
They claim the boy was left unattended for some time despite bleeding profusely before his parent returned from the farm and eventually took him to the hospital for medical attention.
Speaking on behalf of the family, the elder sister of the girl, Joyce Enyan, called on the police to conduct a thorough investigation into the conduct of school authorities and their handling of the situation.
