A Takoradi Technical Institute student has been jailed for 6 months for stabbing his teacher
The Takoradi District Court has sentenced a second-year student of Takoradi Technical Institute (TTI), Emmanuel Sam, popularly known as Agogo, to six months in prison for stabbing a teacher on campus.
In addition to the custodial sentence, the court ordered the convict, Sam, to pay GH₵3,000 as compensation to the injured teacher or serve an additional three months in default.
He is also to pay a fine of GH₵2,400 to the court.
According to the available facts of the case, as reported by Connect FM’s Omanbapa morning show, the incident occurred on September 23, 2025, when the student used an unauthorised route to enter the school premises. A teacher on duty apprehended him and attempted to escort him to the senior housemaster for disciplinary action.
In an attempt to avoid facing the housemaster, Sam pulled a pair of scissors from his pocket and stabbed the teacher in the arm. He was subdued with the help of other teachers, arrested, and later handed over to the Central Police Station. Sources indicate that Sam had a history of truancy and absenteeism.
He was subsequently charged and arraigned before the court on Friday, where judgment was delivered.
