Derrick Abu Yeboah furthermore singled out Diana Mensah, accused her of mocking him and slapped her across her face landing right on her eyes. This left her partially blind.
Emmanuel Agyapong, the uncle of the assaulted student lamented that the school authorities failed to give proper medical attention to Diana Mensah after the physical assault.
“After the teacher assaulted my niece, she was kept in the school for a week without taking her to the hospital while her eyes deteriorate and the school authorities were in the known that her eyes were deteriorating from the slap. She was only instructed to go to the school nurse and was given paracetamol. The surprising aspect is that the headmistress said my niece is a stubborn child so she will not be attended to”
