A teacher who has allegedly raped one of his students at the Sunyani High School in the Brong-Ahafo Region has reportedly deserted the school, as the police make frantic efforts to get him to face the law.

Elijah Yeboah, Physical Education (PE) tutor, under the guise of punishing the student for not reporting for exercises in her PE dress, ordered the victim and three other girls to scrub the floor in his bungalow as their punishment.

DAILY GUIDE’s investigation revealed that after the students had gone through the punishment and were about to leave, Mr Yeboah told one of them (name withheld) that she had not finished her part of the punishment and so should come back another day to complete it. This reportedly happened on 4th July, 2016.

On 10th July, 2016, the tutor asked her to go and complete the punishment and in the course of the work, he allegedly held her hand and drew her to his sofa and forcibly had sex with her.

According to sources, on July 12, the girl reported the case to her house mistress who in turn reported it to the senior house master and subsequently the headmistress.

The headmistress also reported the matter to the municipal director of education for advice.

After initial investigation, the municipal directorate advised the school authorities to report the case to the Domestic Violence and Victims Support Unit (DOVVSU) of the Ghana Police Service for his arrest.
