Richard Akumbasa is headteacher of Zebilla Senior High School
Richard Akumbasa, who heads Zebilla Senior High School, has expressed concern over the rate at which Senior High School students smuggle mobile phones into their dormitories.
He says some even smuggle these telecommunication gadgets in their private parts to enable them to make calls in their dormitories.
“There are times the girls will hide it [phone] in their private parts, others hide it in their shito and gari and enter school,” Akumbas stated in an interview on Dreamz FM’s Breakfast Today show, expressing bewilderment at students’ determination to circumvent school rules.
To Richard Akumbasi, he is worried for Ghana’s future, considering the character development of these young ones who are touted as Ghana’s future leaders.
This revelation comes on the back of a brawl that has led to the closure of Zuarungu Senior High School after a violent confrontation erupted after a phone was stolen.
The intervention of the police turned violent as the students are reported to have fought the police back, with one grabbing the police’s magazine.
The Upper East Regional Minister, in consultation with REGSEC, have since closed down the school till further notice.
