Tension is building up at the Akropong School for the Blind after a chaplain at the school was caught molesting a blind female student in one of the classrooms.

The act has got the students very furious and angry after they claim, school authorities may be trying to cover up the incident that occurred on Tuesday.

According to the students, an interaction with the female student in question proved she was forced into the act by the Chaplain. The students claim to have captured the whole incident on video.

Speaking in an interview, one of the students, Richmond said, “When we caught the teacher sexually abusing the lady, we recorded the lady and she narrated what happened. We also got hold of the teacher’s boxer shorts which was in the classroom where the act was ongoing. We tried reporting the case to the police in Akropong but were stopped by the school authorities. We have been restricted from going out of the school.”

According to the students, the teachers have developed the habit of abusing female students in the school and have vowed to take matters into their own hands if the school authorities refuse to deal with the situation as expected.

Richmond went on to say, “We are keeping the boxer shorts to use as evidence. It is interesting to note that, the teacher claims we forcefully took his boxer shorts off him and that is so not true. Other female students have complained about being sexually assaulted by some teachers but we have no evidence to that”.

Richmond alleges the school authorities want his ‘head’ for making the incident public. In his words; “As we speak, I am wanted by the school authorities. I am hiding somewhere on the school campus now because the teachers I am told are discussing me and they claim I have led to make this issue public”.

Parents of the victim are expected at the school today for a meeting with authorities
