Authorities at St. Louis Senior High School in Kumasi have intercepted two female students attempting to leave the school premises illegally by hiding in the trunk of a private vehicle.
The incident occurred during a routine security check of a car that had entered the school under the pretense of picking up a Bolt ride. Acting on suspicion, staff members conducted a random search of the vehicle and were shocked to discover the two students concealed in the trunk.
One of the students was dressed in a blue straight dress, while the other wore shorts and a skimpy top, clothing considered inappropriate by the school’s standards.
A video of the incident, which has since gone viral, captures a staff member insisting that the morning assembly be delayed so the girls could be presented and the entire student body addressed about the matter.
“Video them, look at one of them with an anklet. Shame! come out! What at all do you want in this world? Let them be brought before the assembly so everyone will see and hear what they did,” the staff member is heard saying.
Another voice in the footage alleged that this was not the first time the driver had come to pick up the students, suggesting a pattern of repeated misconduct.
“Don’t let the car drive away. The driver usually comes and takes them out of the school.”
The school authorities have yet to release an official statement on the incident which has reignited conversations about discipline, security, and student behavior in boarding schools across the country.
