Two teachers of Aduman Senior High School (SHS) in the Ashanti Region have been remanded into police custody by the Nsuta Circuit Court over allegations of sodomy involving two minors.
The suspects, identified as 39-year-old Isaac Yankey, the school's chaplain, and 37-year-old Kwabena Kwakye Palance, an Information and Communications Technology (ICT) teacher, were remanded on November 12, 2026.
Their arrest and subsequent court appearance follow reports of alleged sexual abuse at the school, which prompted the Ghana Education Service (GES) to interdict the two teachers pending police investigations.
In a press release dated November 13, 2026, the Ashanti North Regional Police Command said the suspects were arrested on November 10 to assist investigations into the alleged offences.
The police said the matter was first reported to the Kodie District Police Command on November 9 by the Afigya Kwabre South District Director of Education, David Akomea, and the district's Public Relations Officer, Kwabena Obeng Frimpong.
The case was subsequently transferred to the Ashanti North Regional Criminal Investigations Department (CID) on November 11 for further investigations.
The suspects appeared before the Nsuta Circuit Court the following day and were remanded into police custody to allow investigations to continue.
The case attracted public attention after the mother of one of the alleged victims appealed for justice on TV on November 10, 2026.
The mother said she became concerned about her son's health after he returned home complaining of being unwell. Further enquiries, she said, led her to uncover alleged sexual abuse involving the two teachers.
The Ashanti North Regional Police Command said investigations were continuing and gave the assurance that the matter was being handled professionally.
