Report reaching us indicate that the student in the video received twenty-five (25) lashes for asking a form one student to go for evening studies. Mr Peter Opata Nyarko is the name of the housemaster involved in Prampram SHS. The student can not walk due to the intensity of lashes received, and no assistance has been given to him. Ghana Education Service must investigate this and Justice must be served for the parties involved," the blogger reported.
