An 11-year-old Godfred Gyamfi, a class 4 pupil of Sarah Donkor preparatory School at Goka in the Jaman North District, has been beaten severely by his guardian for failing to keep his school bag indoors.
The minor has suffered several wounds and bruises on his entire body.
According to what Nyankonton Mu Nsem gathered, the guardian whose name was only given as Mr. Kwaku, a carpenter, flogged the boy with bamboo sticks.
His crime was that he had refused to always keep his bag indoors after school.
Some neighbours tried without success to stop the suspect but he claimed he was disciplining his ward, and that was nobody’s business.
According to him, it was the victim who refused to obey his instructions to keep his school bag in the room, left it outside at the mercy of the rains.
Mr Kwaku added that his ward has been disregarding any instructions issued to him concerning how to keep his school equipment to safety and a high sense of disrespect.
The headmaster for the school Mr. Enock Afram says he reported the incident to the Police after he discovered bloodstains in the boy’s shirt.
According to him, the suspect was later released after he was arrested.
