The recent stabbing death of final-year student Edward Borketey Sackey at O’Reilly Senior High School has prompted a wave of parental concern, leading some to withdraw their children from the institution.
The tragic incident occurred during a heated argument between Sackey and a fellow student over their fathers’ financial status.
According to reports from Hot News, the fear and unease among parents have driven them to remove their children from the school, seeking to ensure their safety in the wake of the violent event.
This move highlights the growing anxiety surrounding student safety within the school environment.
Despite the turmoil, final-year students at O’Reilly SHS are currently in the midst of their West African Senior School Certificate Examination (WASSCE). The ongoing exams add an additional layer of stress to the already tense situation, as students and their families navigate the aftermath of the incident.
The school’s administration and local authorities are under pressure to address the concerns raised by the incident and implement measures to prevent such tragedies in the future.
