The mother of the Adisadel College assault victim has told Graphic Online that she heard about the incident for the first time on Monday (July 24).

Her son was assaulted under bizarre circumstances by a senior student in the same dormitory on June, 30, 2023.

In a video shared on social media, one student is seen locking the arms of the victim and forcefully hitting his face against a metal bed, resulting in bleeding below the victim’s right eye.

The incident came to light on social media on Monday.

This has sparked outrage and concerns among parents, students, and the public.

Shedding tears as she spoke to Graphic Online’s Central Regional Correspondent, Shirley Asiedu Addo, Ms Margaret Annor Afari said the family only got to know about the incident in the video and that she was yet to even see it.

“I don’t want to see the video. I have heard it being described but I have not seen it and I don’t want to see it”, she said amidst tears while she spoke to Graphic Online Tuesday morning (July 25).

However, she said the elder brother of the victim has seen it.

“It was the elder brother who saw it yesterday and called the housemaster who later called me to explain the incident.”

She appealed to the school authorities to allow the son stay in school to write the WASSCE.

The Ghana Education Service (GES) has reacted to the troubling video, depicting an act of violence involving two students from Adisadel College.
