Achimota School, one of the oldest second-cycle institutions in the country, cited various reasons for not allowing the Rastafarian student into their fold.

But the young and brilliant student's family engaged the school in a legal battle and made their case.

An Accra High Court, which presided over the case, ordered the Rastafarian to be admitted.

In June 2021, Tyrone Marhguy began his high school journey at the Achimota School, passing out with distinction this year.

Netizens cheer Tyrone on
