Vida Essel-LampteyStudents of St. Paul’s Technical School in Akyem Kukurantumi in the Eastern Region of Ghana went on a rampage and impounded a taxi cab being used by the school’s matron to transport alleged stolen food from the school’s kitchen.
The angry students, some of whom were armed with stones and sticks, surrounded the taxi with registration number AS 3074 -15 and deflated all four tyres after the matron, Madam Comfort, and the taxi driver absconded and abandoned the car.
The items included nine buckets of groundnut paste, one bag of millet, four boxes of tin tomatoes, three bags of rice, three bags of flour, two bags of sugar, and one large gallon of cooking oil.
The headmaster of the school, Benjamin Adjabeng, lodged a formal complaint at the Akyem Kukurantumi police station.
The police proceeded to the school to offload the alleged stolen food items.
The police arrested an accomplice at the school’s kitchen to assist in investigations.
However, the matron and the taxi driver are still on the run.
Food theft in second-cycle institutions has dominated the news in the past few days.
On April 28, 2021, Ghana Education Service (GES) directed the management of some 53 Senior High Schools (SHS) in the Ashanti Region to co-operate with the Criminal Investigations Department (CID) of the Ghana Police Service to investigate some infractions related to the supply of food items.
