The Kade District Court in Eastern Region on Wednesday, 7th January, remanded five accused persons in connection with the brutal assault of Michael Quayson, a teacher at Kade Senior High Technical School (SHTS) after they pleaded guilty.
Four of the accused persons, who are above 18 years, were remanded into prison custody, while the other accused, a 17-year-old juvenile, was remanded into police custody.
All five are expected to reappear before the court on January 20, 2026, with the juvenile’s case to be handled by a Juvenile Court.
Family members and some of the accused persons broke down in tears when put in police vehicle and driven away.
This demonstrates the level at which the Ministry of Education and the Ghana Education Service can go to safeguard and protect the welfare of teachers and uphold the integrity of the WASSCE.
