Teachers and pupils of Salvation Army School to demonstrate

Keta, Feb 19, GNA - Teachers and pupils of the Woe Salvation Army Basic School in the Keta District are threatening to go on demonstration to protest an alleged police inaction in finding a teacher of the school who is missing since September last year.

Attempts they made to go on the streets last Monday failed to materialize following the refusal of the police to grant them permit. Mr Wilson Tenu, 29, the teacher, was said to have left home at Woe at about on September 6, last year to buy an item but failed to return. The bicycle on which he rode has also not been traced since then. The teachers are asking why the police have failed to invite for questioning the girl friend of Tenu.

They are also asking why the police have not questioned one Xovor Akpalu, who was found in possession of the teacher's mobile phone, and one Koblaga, a fetish priest, who admitted selling the phone to Akpalu.

Mr Frank Adufati, Deputy Superintendent of Police (DSP) in charge of crime at the Keta Police Command who confirmed the case, said the division had taken charge of investigations from the Anloga police He blamed the school authorities for failing to report the incident to the police early. Mr Adufati said all those mentioned in connection with the case would be re-invited to the police station for questioning. 19 Feb 07
