The case was brought forward by Hawa Nyankum, the 56-year-old mother of the victim, whose identity has been withheld.

Investigations stated that the headmaster had been involved in an illicit relationship with the victim, leading to her pregnancy.

On September 27, 2025, after feeling unwell, the victim visited a local health facility for a pregnancy test. Instead of following the proper procedure, she went to Okyere's house to inform him of the situation.

The headmaster allegedly assisted the victim in confirming the pregnancy and later took her to a pharmacy in Takoradi, where he purchased the necessities to terminate the pregnancy.

He reportedly provided her with the necessities at his home and gave her a sanitary pad before sending her back home.

Upon noticing the sanitary pad, the victim's parents questioned her, leading to her confession. This prompted a report to the Sekondi Division of the Domestic Violence and Victim Support Unit.

The victim was taken to another hospital, where a gynaecologist confirmed an incomplete termination.

Initially, Okyere denied the charges, claiming a 17-year-old classmate of the victim was responsible.

However, police investigations proved that he had coerced the boy into falsely claiming responsibility and had threatened him to ensure his silence.

The case remains under investigation, with authorities continuing to gather evidence and testimonies.

The girl's family is reportedly eager to seek justice against the headmaster, who remains the prime suspect in the case.
