Adisadel College Dismisses Student Involved in Violent Dormitory Assault
Adisadel College has officially dismissed the student seen violently assaulting a junior in a viral video within the dormitory. The culprit, identified as a final year student, will not be allowed to continue attending the school and will solely write his final exams through the West African Examinations Council (WAEC).
The school stated that the dismissal is pending the final decisions of both the school’s Board of Governors and the Ghana Education Service.
The incident, which took place on June 30, 2023, in Quaque house, came to light through the recently circulated video. In the footage, the senior holds the victim from behind and forcefully slams his face onto one of the bunk beds, causing immediate swelling on the impacted area while other students watch.
The affected student has been suspended, and disciplinary actions will also be taken against the individual who recorded the incident and other witnesses who failed to report it. Additionally, the house master and his deputy will face varying degrees of sanctions.
This decision comes after the Ghana Education Service (GES) issued a statement calling for the student’s suspension and involving the police due to the assault nature of the incident.
