Suzzy Pinamang: Kind Man Visits Injured Adventist SHS Student, Shares Photos Of Her Current State

• A Ghanaian man has been praised after visiting Suzzy Pinamang to make a donation towards her
• He also called on the Ghana Education Service and the Ministry of Education to show a similar interest
• Social media users who commented on the post have commended the young man for his generous gesture

A kind Ghanaian man has earned praise after he paid a visit to Suzzy Pinamang, an embattled Form 2 student at Adventist Senior High School who suffered an injury to her eyes while in school.

Yiadom Boakye, who took to Facebook after his visit, called out the Ministry of Education and the Ghana Education Service over what he described as the seeming silence on the matter.

“Today, I visited Suzzy Pinamang, the Adventist SHS student in Bantama who was tragically shot in the face by a fellow student while in the classroom. This is a devastating outcome for a young girl who simply showed up to learn. What is even more troubling is the seeming silence from the Ghana Education Service (GES) and the Ministry of Education."

The donor said their apparent inaction was 'disturbing' and 'unacceptable'.

"When a student is within the walls of a school, they are under the direct care and protection of our educational authorities. It is, therefore, deeply disheartening that in the face of such a tragic incident, these institutions are yet to demonstrate the leadership and responsibility we expect of them.”

He lamented that for a student to have been shot in a school by a fellow student, the silence of the relevant authorities in ensuring that the 16-year-old got the support she deserved was worrying.

He then stressed the need for Suzzy Pinamang to get justice and called on Ghanaians to add their voices to ensuring that the right thing gets done.

Yiadom Boakye then donated an undisclosed amount of money to the student.

“The government, state security, the Ministry of Education, and GES must step forward, take responsibility, and expedite support for Suzzy and her family in the interest of justice. This tragedy happened under their watch. And they cannot distance themselves from it.

"This is a moment that demands real leadership, not online theatrics. We call on the Ashanti Regional Entertainment Prefect and all relevant stakeholders in the region to rise above the noise and show genuine care, leadership, and advocacy. Let us not abandon Suzzy. Let us not abandon justice. Let us not abandon our responsibilities.”

Schools and parents must collaborate

Speaking with YEN.com.gh, an educationist and the Executive Producer of The Sharks Quiz, Abel Ohene Acquaye indicated that the unfortunate incident that had befallen Suzzy Pinamang calls for broader collaboration between schools and parents. This, he said, would help prevent violent behaviour and support students with their problems.

"By working together, schools, parents, and communities can help prevent violent behavior and support students in coping with traumatic events."

At the time of writing this report, the video had racked up over 400 likes and 100 comments.
