Dennis Miracles Aboagye, the New Patriotic Party (NPP) Director of Communications, has slammed Vice-President Professor Naana Jane Opoku-Agyemang for failing to comment on allegations of sexual misconduct involving the headmaster of Obuasi Senior High Technical School (SHTS).
According to Miracles Aboagye, the Vice-President’s silence is very loud and disappointing.
Miracles Aboagye argued that Ghana’s first female Vice-President was expected to be more vocal on matters involving the protection of children, particularly girls, stressing that her position in government placed her in a unique position to advocate for female students.
Speaking on Breakfast Daily on Channel One TV on Wednesday, October 21, Prof Opoku-Agyemang stated, “People expect to hear the Vice-President’s voice, whether you like it or not. They expect that the female Vice-President should stand up for girls, should stand up for the female child. And the silence is very loud”.
Also, Mavis Hawa Koomson, the National Women’s Organiser of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), has fired shots at the Vice President, Professor Jane Naana Opoku-Agyemang, over her continued silence on issues affecting women in Ghana.
According to Hawa Koomson, Professor Jane Naana Opoku-Agyemang, despite being the first female Vice President of Ghana, has failed to publicly address critical issues concerning women.
Hawa Koomson argued that Professor Opoku-Agyemang has been disappointing and embarrassing to Ghanaian women.
The NPP National Women’s Organiser further called on the Vice President to break her silence and speak out on matters affecting women.
Hawa Koomson further questioned how the Vice President would feel if her own granddaughter were subjected to similar alleged sexual abuse.
Speaking in an interview on Adom FM on Tuesday, October 20, 2026, Hawa Koomson stated, “I am calling on the Vice President, who is a woman and a grandmother, to ask herself whether she would be happy if someone did this to her granddaughter. His Excellency President John Dramani Mahama should also ask himself whether he would be happy if someone did this to his daughter”.
“So, I am begging Her Excellency the Vice President to speak about these issues because she is disgracing women. Whenever issues concerning women arise in this country, she remains silent. For once, she should speak so that we can applaud her,” she added.
Hawa Koomson’s remarks come on the heels of the growing public concern over allegations of sexual abuse involving female students at Obuasi Senior High Technical School.
Meanwhile, the police have disclosed that a 20-year-old Form Two student of Obuasi Senior High Technical School, accompanied by her father, lodged a complaint with the Domestic Violence and Victim Support Unit (DOVVSU) in Obuasi on August 4, 2026.
Additionally, Investigative Journalist Manasseh Azure Awuni has disclosed that the number of students who have come forward with allegations of sexual abuse involving the suspended headmaster of Obuasi Senior High Technical School has risen from 16 to 19.
According to Manasseh Azure, three additional students had reportedly come forward.
Speaking on JoyNews’ The Probe on Sunday, October 18, Manasseh Azure stated, “From yesterday, my sources at the school told me the number has grown to 19. So way more names have come up, and it is likely there will be more, because some didn’t give a report”.
