The main suspect, the victim's classmate, was arrested and kept in police custody until his first court hearing. He appeared in court with his face covered in a scarf. He was accompanied by school authorities.

During his first court appearance, a confrontation occurred between the family of Suzy Pinamang and the school authorities, who went to court.

Suzy Pinamang's family accused the school of shielding the suspect. They claim the school is protecting the young boy when their daughter is the one who needs help.

A female relative of Suzy confronted the House master and questioned why the suspect was brought to court with his face covered.

The housemaster, on the other hand, refuted the claims made by Suzy's family. He defended the school and insisted that they have been supportive since day 1. He claimed school authorities took Suzy to the hospital when she was shot by her mate.

"Can someone create a GoFundMe for us to donate to the girl? We need to take her to the States for proper care. We don't want anyone toying with her eye. Can Clement do this and provide the link?"

Asenso-Boakye allegedly neglects Suzy

Meanwhile, Suzy Pinamang's family called out Hon Asenso-Boakye for allegedly failing to honour his promise of taking care of Suzy.

Suzy's relatives claimed the Bantama MP showed up once at the hospital and has not sent in funds for the young girl's treatment as he promised.

The family is therefore calling on Ibrahim Mahama to come to their aid with financial support as he did for Kofi Adoma.
