Dr Agnes Naa Momo Lartey, the Gender Minister, has revealed that her ministry is working with the Ghana Police Service to arrest the Assistant Headmaster of KNUST SHS, Charles Akwasi Aidoo.
The Ghana Education Service (GES) has removed Charles Akwasi Aidoo, Assistant Headmaster (Academic) of KNUST Senior High School, after a viral video showed him in a compromised position with a female student.
According to the GES, Mr Charles Akwasi Aidoo has been barred from entering the school premises while investigations are ongoing.
The GES also assured Ghanaians that due process will be followed and that any disciplinary action taken will be in line with the GES code of conduct.
The GES, in a statement signed by Head of Public Relations Daniel Fenyi, reads, “ The attention of the Management of the Ghana Education Service (GES) was drawn to a viral video circulating on social media, allegedly involving Mr Charles Akwasi Aidoo, the Assistant Headmaster (Academic) of KNU ST Senior High School, in a compromised position with a female student.
Management views the matter with utmost seriousness. In line with our commitment to safeguarding the integrity of the teaching profession and ensuring the safety and welfare of students under our care, Mr Aidoo has already been removed from office and prohibited from going to the school while thorough investigations are being carried out.
“Management assures the general public, stakeholders, parents, and students that due process will be followed, and the appropriate disciplinary action will be taken in accordance with the code of conduct of the Ghana Education Service.
The GES remains committed to upholding the highest standards of professionalism, discipline, and child protection in all our schools. We strongly condemn any acts that compromise the safety, dignity, and well-being of students”, the GES statement added.
The Gender Minister has now revealed that efforts are being made to get the assistant headmaster arrested.
The Gender minister further stated, “You know what the laws of the land are. Even if you are underage and you offer yourself to a man, and the man takes advantage of you, if you’re the one who even went there, the law says that once you’re underage, you should be protected, and that’s all we’ll do”.
“As to whether the girl took the video or went there [voluntarily], don’t let us justify abuse and all of these things going on. Sexual harassment is abuse, and abuse is sexual harassment. Don’t make excuses for it”, she asserted.
She emphasised, “And let us be in awareness so we can support people and protect them from being victimised and stigmatised. So that people will not be afraid to report”.
Meanwhile, a former Assistant Headmaster of KNUST Senior High School, Daniel Boamah-Duku, has weighed in on the viral video capturing Charles Akwasi Aidoo fondling a female student.
According to the Ex-KNUST assistant head, the KNUST SHS female student is a bad girl who smokes wee and was even deboarded for Bad Behaviour.
Daniel Boamah-Duku further quizzed how Charles Akwasi Aidoo would give his phone to such a girl and involve himself with her.
He revealed Charles Akwasi Aidoo, a long-time friend whom he calls Stonebwoy, has surprised him with his actions.
Speaking in an interview on Oyerepa TV on October 1, 2025, Boamah-Duku alleged that the student “smokes wee” and had been expelled from the school’s boarding house due to misconduct, which forced her to continue as a day student.
He remarked, “No matter who you are, you cannot extort money from children. The law even says that we should not manhandle them. Even if a child offers herself to you, you must not engage her. So, God should help us all.
The child in question, from what I know she is not a good girl. She smokes weed. And I am surprised that Stonebwoy would associate with her because this is a child we disciplined and expelled from the boarding house”.
He added, “Why would you give your phone to such a girl and involve yourself with her? She is a bad girl. Stonebwoy has been my friend for years, and he is also an old student”.
