GES interdicts Okadjakrom SHTS teacher over viral sexual misconduct video
4th October 2025
The Ghana Education Service (GES) has interdicted Mr. Richard Tibetor, a teacher at Okadjakrom Senior High Technical School in the Jasikan Municipality of the Oti Region, following the circulation of a viral video allegedly showing him engaged in sexual misconduct with a female student.
In a statement dated October 2, 2025, and signed by Daniel Fenyi, Head of Public Relations, the GES described the alleged conduct as “unacceptable, unethical, and a gross violation of the professional code of conduct for teachers.”
According to the statement, Mr. Tibetor has been interdicted with immediate effect and barred from entering the school premises pending the outcome of investigations.
The GES assured parents and the general public that the Service remains committed to ensuring the safety and protection of all students.
“The safety and protection of all students remain our topmost priority. Any teacher found guilty of acts that compromise the dignity and well-being of learners will face the full rigours of the law in line with the GES Code of Conduct,” the statement added.
This incident comes just days after the GES dismissed the Assistant Headmaster (Academic) of KNUST SHS, Mr. Charles Akwasi Aidoo, following the emergence of another viral video showing him in a compromising situation with a female student.
The GES reiterated that it views such incidents with “utmost seriousness” and will continue to act decisively to safeguard learners and uphold the integrity of the teaching profession.
The interdiction of Mr. Tibetor, the statement concluded, underscores the Service’s zero-tolerance policy toward any form of misconduct that threatens the welfare of students.
