Isaac Yankey and Kwabena Kwakye Palance remanded over alleged sodomy

Two teachers from Aduman Senior High School in the Ashanti Region have been remanded into police custody following allegations of sodomizing two minors. Isaac Yankey, who serves as a chaplain, and Kwabena Kwakye Palance, an ICT teacher, were arrested on November 10, 2026, after reports of the alleged sexual abuse surfaced at the institution. The court's decision to remand the suspects follows a formal investigation initiated by regional law enforcement.

The investigation was triggered after a mother reported health concerns regarding her son, leading to the discovery of the alleged abuse. According to reports, the Ashanti North Regional Police Command began looking into the matter after being notified by the Afigya Kwabre South District Director of Education and the school's Public Relations Officer. The educational authorities took action immediately after receiving information regarding the conduct of the two staff members.

The case has generated significant public interest and concern regarding the safety of students in residential schools. The Ashanti North Regional Police Command has confirmed that investigations are ongoing to ensure all relevant facts are established. As the legal proceedings continue, the suspects remain in custody awaiting their next court appearance, while school authorities and the District Education Directorate monitor the situation closely to provide support to the affected students.
