Head Teacher of Zogbeli Block B Junior High School in the Tamale Metropolis, Mohammed Salifu has been physically attacked by a dismissed student and Allies at the premises of the school on Tuesday afternoon.
The dismissed student, identified as Fuseini Alhassan, who used to be in Form 2A of the school, mobilized his gang numbering 3 to assault the Head Teacher at ‘Kalamba Academy’, a notorious Ghetto formed at the precinct of the school by school dropouts when the latter visited the place to sack them from the campus upon being told about their presence with the tendency to have bad influence on serious and committed students.
This follows a refusal by the Head Teacher Mr. Mohammed Salifu to accept the supposed apology emanating from the dismissed student to re-admit him into the school to continue his education.
Feeling paranoid about the action of the Head Teacher, the suspect orchestrated his attack in connivance with his gang members.
Mr. Mohammed Salifu sustained wounds on his right palm in an attempt to prevent the machete from hurting him in the wake of the attack. He was also hit in the eye by the assailants.
Dangerous machetes such as cutlasses, Axes, Scissors, and Knives were all retrieved from the hooligans.
Having resisted the attack from the gang with the help of colleague teachers, they took to their heels to avoid any arrest. Upon a chase, one of them was eventually arrested and sent to Lamashagu Police Station for further investigations.
Reports gathered by Sagani News indicate that the suspect under arrest will be arraigned before the court today, Wednesday 5th February 2025
The Head Teacher was also sent to the hospital for a medical examination.
