The Ghana Education Service (GES) has interdicted a teacher from Okadjakrom Senior High Technical School (SHTS) in the Oti Region following the circulation of a viral video involving him and a female student.
Teacher Identified as Mr. Mfo Richard Tibetor
According to an official communique from GES, the teacher, identified as Mr. Mfo Richard Tibetor, has been interdicted for sexual misconduct after the video sparked outrage nationwide.
