Akwasi Opoku, the Senior Housemaster of Nkenkaasu Senior High School, has been suspended following an alleged sexual misconduct with three female students.
The Senior Housemaster was suspended by the management of the school following allegations.
On Monday, February 23, 2026, the school, in a statement issued, stressed that the decision was taken after a review of his conduct in the matter.
Akwasi Opoku has been ordered to step aside from his role as Senior Housemaster pending further investigations and consultations.
“Management has reviewed your conduct in a matter involving yourself and three female students. Your behaviour in this case is considered unprofessional and has brought the name of the school and the Ghana Education Service into disrepute,” the statement said.
“You are therefore to step aside as the Senior Housemaster of the school pending further investigation and consultations. You are to hand over to the Assistant Headmaster (Domestic) immediately without fail,” the statement added.
In related news, some months ago, the headmaster of Dzodze Penyi Senior High School, Joshua Vidzro, has been ordered to step aside by the Ghana Education Service over allegations of sexual misconduct involving students.
According to a statement released by the GES, Joshua Vidzro has been ordered to step aside from his duties with immediate effect.
The GES highlighted that the development comes following allegations of the Headmaster’s involvement in sexual misconduct with some female students of Dzodze-Penyi SHS.
The GES directive issued on December 6, 2025, read, “Under instructions from the Director-General of the Ghana Education Service, you are hereby directed by the Management of the Regional Directorate of Education to step aside from your position as the Headmaster of Dzodze-Penyi Senior High School with immediate effect.
This directive arises consequent upon your alleged involvement in sexual misconduct with some female students of Dzodze-Penyi SHS, which allegations require urgent investigation into. The temporary cessation of your official duties is deemed necessary in order to guarantee the integrity of the investigative process and to preclude any real or perceived interference therewith”.
The statement added, “Accordingly, you are hereby instructed to forthwith, formally hand over all official duties, responsibilities, records, and any property of the Dzodze-Penyi SHS presently under your custody to the Municipal Director of Education for Ketu North.
You are also to vacate the premises of the school from Monday, 8th December 2025, after handing over. Nonetheless, you shall remain available at all material times to assist the competent authorities in the conduct of the investigation and refrain from any form of direct or indirect contact with the female students concerned and any potential witnesses”.
The GES further revealed, “For the avoidance of doubt, this directive does not constitute a determination or presumption of guilt on your part, but is an administrative measure issued in furtherance of due process and institutional accountability.
The Municipal Director of Education for Ketu North is hereby directed to take charge of the administration and management of the School until further notice”.
