According to the student, it all began when the headmaster invited her to his bungalow to run an errand for him.
She explained that after arriving at his house, the headmaster allegedly forced her to stroke his manhood. However, after she refused, Zakaria Abdulai allegedly raped her and later dragged her into his bedroom, where he had sex with her again.
“When I knocked at his door, he asked me to enter with my sandals. When I entered, he was wearing a singlet and boxer shorts. He asked me to sit down, but I was scared and didn't know whether to leave or stay.
“He held my hand and pulled me onto a brown sofa. He held my hand and used it to rub his manhood and said he wanted to have sex with me, but I couldn't do it. We struggled. He took off my shorts and forcibly had sex with me. After that, he dragged me into his bedroom and had sex with me again,” she said.
In the documentary, the student also claimed that the headmaster allegedly gave her GH¢100 to keep quiet or face the consequences.
“When I returned to the dormitory, I was distraught. I placed the GH¢100 he gave me in a Bible and was lying down crying over it,” the victim shared.
Another victim, whose identity was also not disclosed, detailed how Zakaria Abdulai allegedly trapped her inside the bungalow and attempted to rape her.
The victim explained that, before the incident, she inserted a paper towel inside her underwear as a sign that she was menstruating.
“Then suddenly he went and changed into a white towel which he put around his waist. When he returned, he took off the towel and showed me his nakedness. I screamed. Then he locked all the doors and sent the keys to his bedroom.
“I was so scared I ran into his kitchen, tore a paper towel, and inserted it in my underwear. He called me to the hall, pushed me onto the sofa, and took off his underwear. When I told him I was menstruating, he put his hand under my panty to check if it was true,” she narrated.
The victim further shared that after the headmaster realised she was menstruating, he allegedly forced her to stroke his manhood.
The victim also claimed that the headmaster ejaculated four times before allowing her to leave.
She further alleged that the headmaster threatened to kill her if she informed anyone about the incident.

“When he felt the tissue, he left me, went to the room, and returned with oil and asked me to stroke his manhood. When I said I would not do it, he told me the two girls thought I had left his house, so he could kill me or do anything and nobody would know.
“When I said no, he slapped me and held my neck. So I agreed to do it. He ejaculated four times before he allowed me to go. But before I left, he threatened to kill my housemistress and me if I should mention it to her,” the second victim narrated.
Meanwhile, according to the documentary, some of the victims who reported their ordeals to their housemistresses were allegedly forced to remain silent.
The documentary further claimed that a male teacher to whom some of the students reported the incidents laughed after hearing their accounts.
