Four staff members of Somé Senior High School in the Ketu South Municipality of the Volta Region have been remanded by the Circuit Court at Tokor.
This was when they appeared before the court on Monday, May 27, 2024.
The accused, including the Assistant Headmistress in charge of academics, the Bursar, the Matron, and the storekeeper, were arraigned for their alleged involvement in stealing food items meant for students.

Subsequently, the Ghana Education Service (GES) interdicted the Bursar, Richard Ametorxe, the storekeeper; Alex Obuadi and the Matron; Yorm Dzikumu and has constituted a committee to investigate the matter within two weeks.
