Adisadel College has announced the outright dismissal of a student captured in a viral tape violently assaulting a junior in a dormitory.
A statement posted on the school’s Twitter account stated that the culprit, a final year student, will be outrightly dismissed and will only write his final exams with the West African Examinations Council (WAEC).
The dismissal, management stated will be subject to final decision of the school’s Board of Governors and the Ghana Education Service (GES).
Even though the video started circulating very recently, the statement noted that: “the incident happened on the 30th of June, 2023 in Quaque house.”
In the said video, the senior holds the victim from behind and moves him in between beds before slamming his face on one of the bunk beds.
The portion of the face that hit the bed immediately is swollen as other students look on.
The affected student has also been suspended, the one who recorded the incident and other witnesses who failed to report it will be subjected to varying degrees of sanctions as well as the house master and his deputy.
The move comes after GES issued a statement ordering the suspension of the student and asking that the police be invited into the matter as it contained assault.
