Tyron Marhguy, one of the Rastafarian students affected by Achimota's decision not to admit them based on their hairstyle, has landed into the bad books of some people.
This came about after the young student took to Twitter to announce his court victory against the school to the world.
In the famous words of Kwame Nkrumah, Marhguy indicated that "the battle has ended" and that he was "free forever".

He also asked the school to "be ready" after he shared a photo of himself and the entire family beaming with smiles after the court's ruling.
His comments however appeared not to have been pleasing to some social media users and they took to the comment section to express themselves.
One Twitter user opined: "Not to burst ur bubble but dem go humble you for the school inside...adɛn aa "achimota be ready" and "the battle has ended" This boy has no idea the battle rather just began"
Another user wrote: "The crass nonsense in Achimota be ready. Dude. The school can revoke your admission and the court cannot do foko."
However, one Twitter user begged to differ and stood firmly behind Tyron Marhguy for braving the storm and fighting injustice.
YEN.com.gh earlier reported that Achimota School had been ordered to admit Tyrone Marhguy, the dreadlock-wearing Rastafarian boy into the school.
The Human Rights Court 1 Division of the High Court in Accra directed Achimota School to also admit Oheneba Nkrabea, another Rastafarian student into the school.
The ruling was read by High Court Judge, Gifty Adjei Addo.
Her reasons were that failure to admit the applicant because of their dreadlocks, which is a manifestation of their religious right is a violation of their human right, right to education, and dignity.
Tyrone Marhguy filed a suit against the Achimota School’s decision not to admit him over their dreadlocks.
