In an August 25, 2026 report by citinewsroom, the Asunafo North Municipal Director of GES, Samuel Jatong Larri, confirmed that the Service has taken charge of the matter and that formal interviews have already been conducted with both individuals involved.

Larri noted that the female student was interviewed with her parents present, a step he described as essential to ensuring her account was properly recorded while keeping the process safe and dignified for her.

"We interviewed the security man. We also interviewed the girl in question in the presence of her mother and father. So the security man narrated his side of it. The girl also did the same thing," he said.

GES prioritises students' wellbeing during inquiry

Larri added that the compiled reports from the interviews would be forwarded to the Regional Director of GES before any further action is determined.

He was clear that the welfare of the student remains the central concern during the process.

"So we are putting the reports together…we will forward it to the regional director. When it happens like this, the girl will be our main focus. We are focused on how to protect the girl in terms of psychological trauma that she would be going through," he explained.
