The Tokor Circuit Court has remanded four staff members of Somé Senior High School (SHS) in the Ketu South Municipality of the Volta Region into police custody.
This decision was made during their court appearance on Monday, May 27, 2024.
An Accra-based radio station reported that the four individuals pleaded not guilty to charges of stealing leveled against them.
The accused, including the Assistant Headmistress in charge of academics, the Bursar, the Matron, and the storekeeper, were arraigned for their alleged involvement in stealing food items intended for students.
In a related development, the Ghana Education Service (GES) has interdicted the Bursar, Richard Ametorxe; the storekeeper, Alex Obuadi; and the Matron, Yorm Dzikumu, and has established a committee to investigate the matter within two weeks.
This follows Yorm being caught on Friday by some alumni and the Assembly member, leaving the school with food items.
The stolen items included tin tomatoes, mackerel, cleaning agents, insecticide spray, and other goods.
