During a livestream in between takes on her show, GH Today on Thursday, January 15, 2026, the popular news anchor and lawyer sparked controversy after making comments about the distinguished school that many felt were in bad taste.
In an apparent moment of banter, Serwaa Amihere stated:
“Today, the school (PRESEC) is filled with such boys. When they attend the National Science and Maths Quiz, don't you see how they behave? The school has become a breeding ground for LGBTQ acts,” she said.

The school condemned the ‘reckless’ comments and defended its reputation as a mission school that is considered as one of the best in the country.

The school said the comments were harmful to its reputation and expressed gratitude to all stakeholders who fiercely defended the institution amid the controversy stoked by the lawyer.

"Stop recording your friends when having friendly banter. I’m sure if some of the things you’ve been saying to your friends are captured on camera, it’d be worse than this. I’m super tired of everyone trying to capture everything for social media 😕."
Journalist addresses Serwaa Amihere's PRESEC comment
In an interview with YEN.com.gh, journalist Stella Annan addressed the controversy surrounding Serwaa Amihere's comments about PRESEC, Legon.
"I feel Serwaa Amihere's comment about PRESEC Legon was lighthearted banter, but given that such activities are largely abhorred by the Ghanaian society, PRESEC will definitely not want to be associated with it, given the reputation the school has built over the years. That said, it was a smart move on her part to render an apology to quash the controversy," she said.
