The 'juju' as is known in local parlance, is believed to have been planted by a man fighting the school over a parcel of land which he was claiming ownership of.

According to teachers, Monday’s incident was the third time something like that had happened.

They added that the suspect had also been threatening them with death. School authorities also alleged that the KG classrooms were mostly 'bombed' with feces by unknown persons.

A School Management Committee is however holding a meeting on the matter while a report has already been lodged at the Police station.

The PTA Chairman, Samuel Tei Wayo told in an interview with Starr News said that, “the person who committed the act went to an information center Sunday warning that everybody must desist from the School land so we know him, we are going to cause his arrest but for the meantime, the KG pupil will merge with other classes.”

Some parents stormed the School to withdraw their children as the school management sought permission from the Ghana Education Service (GES) to temporarily close down the school.

However, Evelyn Asieni Teiko, Assembly Member for the Area, has allayed fears of parents and assured them that that everything was under control.

She stated that, nobody could claim ownership of the school land allocated by traditional rulers 70 years ago.
