Authorities of Afia Kobi Girls' Senior High School in the Atwima Nwabiagya district of the Ashanti Region are still tight lipped over the bizarre circumstances surrounding the sudden death of a final year student of the school two Sundays ago.
Last week, The New Statesman reported of the death of Rose Jackson, who met her untimely death when she was denied an exeat by the school authorities to go home and seek proper medical care after she reported ill.
Information picked up the paper indicates that the headmistress of the school, Fameye Eshun, had warned staff members not to utter a word concerning the issue to anybody, especially to the media.
The attitude of the headmistress, sometime ago nearly created a rift between parents and the school as a student nearly died when she too was refused an exeat to go home for medical checkup, the paper was informed.
The New Statesman has also gathered that Mrs. Fameye Ashun was chased out from duty in 2010 at Jachie-Pramso SHS, when a similar incident occurred under her watch.
According to a former student of JAPASS - where the current Afia Kobi headmistress once headed - a student named Daniel Kwame Acheampong, who was also in his final year in 2010 lost his life when he was denied an exeat home.
Our source disclosed that the deceased complained of stomachache during a Sunday church service but was not allowed to go home upon the instructions of the head mistress. The students had to defy school rules to rush their sick colleague to a nearby hospital, only to be pronounced dead the next day.
The former JAPASS student said the death of Daniel angered the entire student’s population and the township that the head had to be transferred to another school
"After Daniel's death was announced, the whole town, even including the chiefs, called for her head but instead she was transferred," the source disclosed.
Meanwhile, information gathered also indicates that the youth in the communities around the girls school are planning to stage a massive demonstration against the continuous retention of this headmistress.
A source in one of the towns said the headmistress would know no peace if the Ghana Education Service does not heed to their request and move her from the school.
