All five suspects pleaded guilty and were convicted on their plea, with the court deferring sentencing to January 20, 2026.

They were remanded into police custody pending a hearing on January 20, 2026.

It will be recalled that last year October 2025, a viral video captured students reportedly attacking the teacher after he refused to allow them to cheat in exams.

The attack was allegedly carried out in retaliation for the teachers who prevented them from cheating during the 2025 WASSCE.

Reports later surfaced that the parents of the students reached an out-of-court settlement with the teacher.
