Mr. Benjamin Adjabeng, the headmaster of the school, is reported to have lodged a formal complaint at the Akyem Kukurantumi police station, following the event. The police is also reported to have arrested an accomplice at the school’s kitchen to assist the investigation. In the meantime, the matron and the taxi driver are still at large. This case, however, is not isolated as food theft in second-cycle institutions is very prevalent. 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.
