St. Peter's Mission School: Family claims their kid was killed

Following their son’s terrible death at St. Peter’s Mission School in Ogbojo, Adentan Municipality, the family of a 14-year-old British national is seeking answers.

According to reports, the youngster died after falling from the fourth story of the school’s dormitory.

The family is furious by the school officials’ comments, and they suspect foul play in their son’s murder.

They have already raised their worries about the incident’s circumstances and are seeking clarification on what actually occurred.

According to school officials, the incident occurred on Monday, May 15, on school grounds. The kid was sent to the University of Ghana Medical Centre (UGMC) right away, but he was confirmed dead upon arrival.

Nii Nii Quaye Ashale, the family’s leader, angrily rejected the school administrators’ account of events in an interview with Eyewitness News.

He claims that their son did not fall from the dormitory but met a different destiny outside of the school grounds. The family is sceptical of the school officials’ allegations and rejects them as a “cock-and-bull story.”

“We realised it was a cock-and-bull story indeed, there was no correlation between what we saw and told. The blood stains on the floor were not up to a tin of canned milk. Our grandson and son never fell from any 4th floor. He was murdered outside the school, they brought him back when everybody was asleep, and they just took him to the spot. They spread a pint of his blood around the place.

“If the school is a boarding house, and it’s got security, definitely the boy couldn’t have run out of campus, he’s in the custody of the authorities of the school. From what we saw and what they narrated to us that he fell from the 4th floor. And the quantum of blood that was there, clearly, there was an indication that something had transpired,” a livid family head pointed out.

He further debunked claims that the boy engaged in drug peddling.

“We are also waiting on the homicide to tell us. The report that came out from the standard board was that he never took drugs and that he was never poisoned. It all lies when the school authorities said he was high on drugs, and they had to bathe him with cool water and put him to sleep. The drugs that they said might have been the cause of his death are all a lie”.
