A family in grief is demanding immediate justice after their son, Addib Alhassan, was allegedly stabbed and killed by a fellow student at Kinbu Technical Senior High School in Accra on July 31, 2025.

The worrying incident, a stabbing that reportedly escalated from a dispute within a classroom, has triggered concerns in the school community and the public.

Yussif Abdul Salam, an uncle to the deceased, issued a stern ultimatum to Kinbu Technical Senior High School authorities, stressing that they have until the close of Friday, August 1, 2025, to produce the student alleged to have attacked Addib or face legal action.

According to initial reports, Addib Alhassan was stabbed following an escalating dispute with a colleague identified as Musah.

The specific nature of the dispute remains unclear, but its tragic culmination underscores serious concerns about safety and conflict resolution mechanisms within schools.

The gravity of the situation was amplified on Thursday when a group of agitated youth reportedly stormed the school premises upon learning of Addib Alhassan's demise.

Reports further indicate that the student alleged to have carried out the attack has since absconded, prompting an immediate manhunt by security agencies.

Authorities from Kinbu Technical Senior High School, along with Regional Education Directors from the Klottey Korle Municipality, met with the deceased's parents on Friday.

The closed-door meeting was convened to discuss the escalating matter and determine the next steps in the wake of the tragedy.

Such meetings typically involve discussions on investigations, disciplinary actions, and support for affected families and students.

Muntari Wahab, the Assembly Member for the Latebiokorshie electoral area, where the deceased Addib Alhassan resided, confirmed in an interview with Adom News that officials from National Security had assured them of a swift investigation into the incident.

This tragic event at Kinbu Technical Senior High School is likely to intensify the ongoing national conversation about security and violence within Ghana's educational institutions.

In recent years, there have been increasing reports of student-on-student violence, drug use, and gang-related issues in some senior high schools, prompting calls for enhanced security measures, improved guidance and counselling services, and more robust disciplinary frameworks.

The Ghana Education Service (GES) has often reiterated its commitment to student safety, but incidents like this underscore the persistent challenges.
