This included a forensic medical examination of the complainant and the recording of statements from key witnesses who could provide information regarding the events leading up to and following the alleged incident. The police have emphasized that these steps were crucial in ensuring a professional and thorough exploration of the serious allegations made against the school administrator.
With the investigative phase concluded by the police, the case now rests with the Attorney General’s Office. Legal experts will review the evidence and the police docket to determine the appropriate charges and the subsequent legal path for the trial. The Ashanti South regional police command has assured the public of its commitment to transparency and the pursuit of justice, stating that they have remained diligent in their efforts to resolve the case according to the law.
