Basic and Junior High School teachers in the Krachie district in the Volta Region continue to boycott classes for fear of being lynched. The teachers started the boycott of academic work earlier this month after the death of three teachers in the area. The Police are yet to arrest anybody in connection with the death, neither have they been able to ascertain the motives behind the deaths. Despite assurances by the Regional Police Commander of heightened security in the district, the teachers will not reverse their decision. Regional Police commander ACP Fred Agyepong Asare has ruled out the possibility that a serial killer may be on the loose, targeting teachers in the area as speculated by some residents in the town. "If the public is forthcoming with information to the police which will lead us in a different direction...as to whether he [the latest victim] was killed somewhere and brought there [a river bank where the teacher's body was found] or not, [but] we are still carrying on with our investigations", ACP Agyepong said. He said although the pathologist said the latest victim, found by the river bank, died from drowning, the police have not let down their guard. "We are covering every bit of information that we have", he stated. But Volta Regional Chairman of the Ghana National Association of Teachers (GNAT), Alex Mawusi Buadi, said the teachers will not rescind their decision. "We are saying that those areas are not safe for our teachers. Any other area, the teachers will work but in those areas [in the Krachie district], unless they provide enough security so that our teachers don't get missing mysteriously", he insisted. Academic activities resume in September in communities along the Krachie district and other districts in the Volta region.
