Zakaria Abdulai, the suspended Headmaster of Obuasi Senior High Technical School, has revealed that he has been cautioned and granted self-recognisance bail by the Police.
His comment follows the Interior Minister, Mohammed Mubarak Muntaka, revealing that Zakaria Abdulai was arrested over sexual misconduct allegations.
According to Mohammed Mubarak Muntaka. the case had been transferred from the regional level to Police Headquarters for investigation.
The Interior Minister said the matter came to his attention on September 7, when the Criminal Investigations Department (CID) received a report.
He revealed that he subsequently requested that the investigation be handled at the national level.
“We’ve been able to get one of the ladies; maybe I shouldn’t be putting so much information out. About semen, we are getting DNA… So, what is happening is that this gentleman has been arrested. He’s going through the due process,” the Minister said.
The Interior Minister explained that investigators were considering DNA evidence but would require a court order before collecting DNA samples, in accordance with the law.
Mohammed Mubarak Muntaka stressed that the headmaster was presumed innocent until proven guilty and said he would have the opportunity to respond to the allegations as the investigation continued.
Speaking in an interview with Radio Show Host Blakk Rasta, Zakaria Abdulai stated, “I have been cautioned because one girl and her parents said I have raped her. So they reported, I was cautioned, and as a headmaster I was given self-recognisance bail. I’m waiting for court days”.
“If I give you the turn of events for this particular girl who is claiming I have raped her, you’ll be shocked”, he added.
When asked by Blakk Rasta if she is a bad girl, he stated, “I don’t know her, but I know she has given birth; she has a child. But I cannot judge her whether she is bad or good.
But I have my story, and the committee that did the investigation have heard my story as against the girl and her people”.
Meanwhile, the embattled headmaster has sued investigative journalist Manasseh Azure Awuni and Multimedia Group Limited for defamation, demanding GH¢2 million in damages over publications he claims damaged his reputation.
In a writ of summons and statement of claim filed at the High Court in Accra, Mr Abdulai is seeking a declaration that statements allegedly published by the defendants about him were false, defamatory and malicious.
The suit, dated October 16, 2026, relates to publications the plaintiff says were broadcast in May 2023 on Multimedia Group platforms, including Joy FM, Adom FM, MyJoyOnline and Joy TV.
The programmes cited in the court documents include the Super Morning Show and its midmorning show.
According to the statement of claim, the publications accused Zakaria Abdulai of sexually harassing female students at Obuasi SHTS.
He further alleges that the defendants published claims that a female student who had suffered sexual abuse presented a pair of shorts stained with his semen to Mr Manasseh Azure Awuni.
Mr Abdulai argues that the allegations were published without sufficient evidence to support them and have harmed his reputation as an educationist, school administrator and politician.
