Godwin Adigbli, a 45-year-old French teacher at the Labone Senior High School, is facing charges of indecent assault.
The Labone French teacher has been accused of allegedly molesting a female student of the school.
Godwin Adigbli, in court, pleaded not guilty to the charge and was granted bail of GHC 50,000 with two sureties.
The prosecution revealed at the district court at the Domestic Violence and Victim’s Support Unit at the Police Headquarters in Accra that the French teacher inserted his fingers into the private parts of the female student.
According to the prosecution, Godwin Adigbli admitted to “inserting his fingers into the victim’s vagina and kissing her for a few minutes in the French lab of the school on August 28.”
The Labone French teacher was arrested on September 1, 2025, after the incident was reported to school authorities.
On Wednesday, October 22, 2025, lawyers of the Labone SHS French teacher pleaded for bail for the accused. The prosecution did not oppose the bail application.
The court granted the French teacher a GHC50,000 bail with two sureties to be justified.
He has also been ordered to report to the Police every two weeks at the Cantonment Police station.
Meanwhile, the case has been adjourned to December 10, with the presiding judge ordering the prosecution to file their disclosures before the next hearing.
In related news, the Headmaster, Mr Isaac Dunkwa of Prevailing Academy in the Western Region has been arrested for allegedly impregnating an underage student.
According to reports, he attempted to conceal the act by persuading a male student to take responsibility for the pregnancy in order to evade legal consequences.
A JHS graduate of the school speaking in the video stated, “I was called by the headteacher to come to his house one Saturday. He told me there was a serious issue. He had impregnated a girl, and I was asked to take responsibility so that it could be settled at home.
I later called the girl’s family, and her father invited me to his house. Later, I heard the teacher had been arrested at the Sekondi Police Station. He was later granted bail”.
The female student further alleged that the headteacher, who sexually abused her on several occasions, tried to abort the pregnancy.
“He took me to a pharmacy and got some drugs, he asked me to swallow the pills, and also insert some,” she stated in the viral video.
