An Assistant Headmaster at Kumasi High School (KUHIS) has been suspended, pending investigations into allegations of sodomy against him.

A letter signed by Regional Director, Mary Owusu Achiaw, to the Ghana Education Service (GES) Council says the action follows accusation by alleged victims.

Among his topmost responsibilities is ensuring general discipline on campus and supervision of administrative and secretarial staff as well as act generally in the absence of the headmaster.

Some students of the all-male school accused the man in charge of their well-being on campus of sodomising them.

At least, four alleged victims, one of them a former student leader, have opened up to school authorities on their ordeal from the teacher.

Nhyira News has sighted a letter from the Ashanti Regional Education Directorate, asking Mr Amponsah -Duodu to step aside pending completion of the process.
