38 Year Old Teacher Suspended For Impregnating 16 Years Pupil

The Accra Metro Education Directorate of the Ghana Education Service (GES) has suspended Zakaria Amu, a teacher at the Mamprobi ‘5’ Junior High School from teaching.

The 38-year-old teacher is said to have engaged in sexual relations with one of his pupils, a 16 year old girl.

School authorities got to know about the act after the pupil complained of abdominal pains and was sent to the hospital.

The 16-year-old girl said she had sex with Zakaria Amu on numerous occasions. She said the teacher has also assisted her to abort a baby.

"He [teacher] said he will look after me when I complete school so I am looking forward to that", the pupil told Fred.

The Accra Metro Directorate of the GES says they have suspended the teacher and barred him from entering any school in the metropolis.

Alfred Kofi Sai, Director of the Accra Metro Directorate of GES told Fred Smith his outfit has "written to the teacher to cease going to the school or even to any other school."

He said they have instructed Zakaria Amu to report to work at the Directorate for the matter to be investigated.
