Ghanaian investigative journalist Manasseh Azure Awuni has once again spoken about his recent exposé into the alleged sexual abuse of female students of Obuasi Senior High Technical School by their headmaster.

In a discussion on Newsfile on JoyNews, shared on X on October 17, 2026, Manasseh Azure detailed how five girls who were allegedly assaulted by the headmaster in March this year were forced to remain silent after filing complaints.

According to Manasseh Azure, in July this year, another young lady also filed a complaint against the headmaster, identified as Zakaria Abdulia.

Manasseh Azure further shared details of the alleged incident involving the student.

“In July, a young lady filed the complaint against the headmaster. Then in June, there was an alleged sexual assault. In July, a young lady who said she had washed her things and went to pick them up, the headmaster invited her to come and run around for him. And when she got to the house, or the headmaster's bungalow, he locked her inside and sexually assaulted her.

“...But we know this happened last year; similar things happened throughout this year. And then some of the girls said some house mistresses actually told them not to tell anybody when their issues came up. Some of the parents who had the courage to report to the police also told me about frustrations they faced,” he said.

Manasseh also detailed how a committee of inquiry set up by the Ghana Education Service (GES) into the alleged sexual abuse instead targeted teachers who stood up for the affected students.

According to the investigative journalist, the said teachers were pressured to leave the school and make way for new ones, while the interdicted headmaster was allegedly being quietly transferred to another school.

Manasseh further claimed that he had received several reports of alleged sexual assault involving the interdicted headmaster while he was an assistant headmaster at Toase Senior High School.

“The GES set up a committee, and it looked like that committee was rather trying to victimise the teachers who stood up for the girls. They had received calls to leave the school and find new schools, while this headmaster was going to be quietly transferred to another school.

“I can tell you on authority that I've spoken to people who knew this headmaster from Toase Senior High School; he was an assistant headmaster there. And they tell me that what they are hearing about him in Obuasi Senior High School isn't new and that similar things happened in Toase Senior High School, where he was an assistant headmaster,” he added.
