The Daily Graphic says it can confirm that the embattled proprietor of the Great Lamptey Mills Institute, Enoch Nii Lamptey Mills, spent 20 hours and five minutes in the cells of the Ministries Police Station, where he was detained last Wednesday.Although he has come out to deny knowledge of any case against him, records at the Ministries Police Station indicate that he was sent to the cells at 4: 15 p.m. on Wednesday, September 9, 2009 and released at 12:20 p.m. on Thursday, September 10, 2009.Highly placed sources at the Domestic Violence and Victims Support Unit (DOVVSU) told the Daily Graphic Monay that Mr Joseph Sackey of House No. 391/1, Korle Gonno, stood surety for him at the time of his release on bail in the sum of GH¢5,000 last Thursday.The sources said Lamptey Mills, alias Mr Tee, allegedly admitted impregnating one of his former students and forcing to marry the 16-year-old girl.According to the sources; the suspect, who is expected to be arraigned soon, allegedly told the police that the building he promised the girl was at the roofing level.Lamptey Mills, the sources said, also allegedly promised to take the then yet-to-be-born child to South Africa for education, while the mother would remain in Ghana to continue her education to the university level.The suspect, the sources said, claimed that the relationship with the girl started when he was paying the victim's school fees after she informed him that her parents were unable to pay her fees.The Daily Graphic, in its September 11, 2009 issue, reported the arrest of Mills by the police for impregnating and forcing to marry the girl.One year after the girl had given birth, Lamptey Mills had failed to keep to his promise of building a house for her, providing for the upkeep of mother and child, as well as restoring the girl to school.The suspect was arrested on Wednesday evening and he spent the night in cells at the Ministries Police Station.However, after his release on Thursday afternoon, Lamptey Mills denied impregnating a l6-year-old former student of his school and subsequently forcing her into marriage.Speaking to Citi News on Friday, Mr Enoch Lamptey Mills denied ever committing the alleged crime.He accused the Daily Graphic, which published the story on Friday, for peddling falsehood and using its front page to destroy him and to tarnish the image of his school."It is completely false. If somebody has brought you a false story, why can't you call me to find out? Nobody called me. I didn't know anything about it till this morning ... I think the front page of the Daily Graphic is only designed to destroy people," he said."I would come out with a press release soon to clear my name," he added.Great Lamptey-Mills Institute, formerly Lamptey-Mills Institute, was established on February 4, 1963 by the Late Rev. Abraham Samuel Lamptey-Mills after whom the school was named. The Junior High School Department was later established on September 31, 1994 by the current director of the school, Mr Enoch Lamptey-Mills.The Senior Secondary Department was also founded in 2005 by the same director.
He was among a number of persons who received national awards last year.Source: Daily Graphic
