Headmaster of Ebenezer Senior High School (SHS), Richard Kofi Mensah, has rubbished discrimination claims made by dancehall artiste Samini.
The ‘Linda’ hitmaker recently appealed to the Ghana Education Service (GES) to deal with the headmaster for allegedly discriminating against him during his tour of the school.
On Wednesday, he told Sammy Forson on the Cosmopolitan Mix that Mr Mensah stopped him from speaking to the students because of his dreadlocks.
The singer born Emmanuel Andrews further explained that he does not think an educationist who discriminates against people deserves to head a school.
"I decided to touch base with Dansoman High Schools to interact with the kids and inspire them on the importance of education. We had already written letters and they had approved along with the time we should come.”
But in an interview with JoyNews’ Noella Kharyne Yalley, Mr Mensah said he neither saw nor interacted with Samini.
Mr Mensah was unable to confirm if the dancehall musician’s claim was a fabrication.
