Menstrual Pad Reportedly Found in Obuasi Sec/Tech Headmaster’s Room After Police Search

• A reported discovery inside the headmaster’s bedroom has added a strange twist to the Obuasi SHTS case
• The new claim is gaining attention as police investigate what triggered the violent unrest on campus
• Investigators are yet to establish whether the item has any connection to the allegations against the headmaster

Police investigations into the violent disturbance at Obuasi Senior High Technical School in the Ashanti Region are continuing as a new, unconfirmed claim circulates online.

A viral social media report alleges that investigators found a menstrual pad inside the bedroom of the school’s headmaster, Abdulai Zakaria, during a search.

However, the police have not publicly confirmed finding the item or established any connection between it and the allegations that led to the unrest.

The latest claim follows reports that some students attacked the headmaster after rumours spread that he had allegedly buried a baby or foetus on the school grounds.

The allegation has also not been established as fact by investigators.

Headmaster receives specialist treatment

The disturbance reportedly left the headmaster with serious head injuries after students allegedly assaulted him and vandalised school property.

Police officers rescued him and took him to the AngloGold Ashanti Hospital before he was transferred to the Komfo Anokye Teaching Hospital in Kumasi for specialist treatment.

Reports indicate that he suffered a suspected skull fracture. Three staff bungalows were also reportedly vandalised during the unrest.

Six students have since been arrested in connection with the violence, while security personnel remain on campus to protect students, teachers and school property.

Authorities caution against speculation

The Ministry of Education has condemned the attack and directed the Ghana Education Service to conduct a full investigation into the incident.

As investigations continue, the menstrual pad report and the original burial allegations remain unverified. The public is therefore being urged to avoid presenting social media claims as confirmed evidence until the police release their official findings.
