Serwaa Amihere apologises for controversial PRESEC comment

Earlier, the TV star, Serwaa Amihere, made a public apology after she made controversial comments alleging that the Presbyterian Boys Secondary School (PRESEC) at Legon had become a breeding ground for LGBTQ activities.

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 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.

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.
