'Send me to a village as punishment' - Wanted Bole SHS teacher apologises over leaked video saga

A man believed to be the senior high school teacher from Bole SHS in the viral video, seen engaging in inappropriate acts with a student has appealed to the Ghana Education Service (GES) to rescind their decision to sack him from the teaching profession.

Speaking in a video sighted by GhanaWeb on Tuesday, July 14, 2026, the teacher admitted to his actions and described the incident as "unfortunate."

He claimed that the student involved had already completed her final year at the time of the incident.

He further explained that he had gone to the science laboratory to pick up something on the day of the incident, adding that he did not know how events unfolded.

“What happened was unfortunate. The students had completed the school and so, I went to the science lab to pick up something and the incident happened.

“I want to apologise to Ghanaians and I have heard they [authorities] have sacked me from the teaching job. They should forgive me for what happened. I admit that my actions were bad and so they should forgive me,” he said.

The teacher appealed to the government to transfer him to another school as punishment instead of dismissing him from the teaching profession.

“I am pleading with the government to at least transfer me to a village as punishment. I have learnt my lessons from what happened,” he added.

The teacher was interdicted by the Ghana Education Service (GES) after a video allegedly showing him engaging in inappropriate conduct with a student circulated on social media.

In a statement issued on Monday, June 16, 2026, and signed by the Head of Public Relations at GES, Daniel Fenyi, the Service said it had become aware of the viral video and had launched investigations into the incident.

The statement added that the teacher had been interdicted pending the outcome of the investigations, in accordance with GES rules and regulations.

Subsequently, the Ghana Education Service (GES) suspended the teacher's salary after he reportedly absconded, prompting further administrative action.

The Service also lodged a formal complaint with the Ghana Police Service to facilitate his arrest and further investigations.

However, his whereabouts remain unknown despite the emergence of the video.
