Five students at Mpraeso Senior High School (SHS) in the Eastern Region have been arrested for an alleged gang rape of a 16-year-old female student.
Three other students who were part of the act are also currently on the run.
Narrating her ordeal, the victim said she was on her way with her friend to buy food at the canteen when a male student called her.
While approaching him, she saw seven other male students also walk towards them.
According to her, she is not aware of the conversation the suspects had with her friend but she abandoned her as the suspects forcibly had sex with her.
The incident she said occurred on Sunday and there was nobody around to offer help.
“I have been to the hospital for the necessary check up and I want the suspects to face the full rigorous of the law,” she stated.
The headmaster, James Affadu confirmed the incident in an interview with Adom News.
Mr Afadu said the disciplinary committee has dismissed all eight boys and has handed over the case to the police for further investigation and appropriate action.
Meanwhile, the Nkwatia Divisional Police Command is yet to process the suspects to court for prosecution.
