Former Minister criticizes Bolgatanga Girls SHS over alleged rape of 14-year-old student by security guards

Abayage, also a gender advocate, shared her concerns in a social media letter. The school's reported actions, following an investigation, included placing the student on day status for one academic year, referring her to the Guidance and Counselling Unit, and requiring her parents to provide a medical report. The letter, signed by headmistress Gifty Ayamba, cited the Ghana Education Service Code of Conduct for Students.

Abayage expressed dissatisfaction, questioning why the student faced disciplinary measures. She called for authorities to intervene, withdraw the letter, and allow legal action against the alleged perpetrators. Abayage also urged the Ghana Education Service to investigate and address the headmistress's actions.
