Two Aduman SHS teachers remanded over alleged sodomy case involving two minors

Two teachers of Aduman Senior High School in the Ashanti Region have been remanded into police custody by the Nsuta Circuit Court over an alleged sodomy case involving two minors.

The suspects, identified as 39-year-old Isaac Yankey, the school chaplain, and 37-year-old Kwabena Kwakye Palance, an ICT teacher, were arraigned on Thursday, November 12, after their arrest.

The Ashanti North Regional Police Command said the case had been transferred to its Regional Criminal Investigations Department (CID) for further investigations.

In a statement issued on Friday, November 13, the Police said the matter was reported to the Kodie District Police Command on November 9 by the Afigya Kwabre South District Director of Education, David Akomea, and the District Public Relations Officer, Kwabena Obeng Frimpong.

The two teachers were arrested on November 10 and detained to assist with investigations.

“On 11th November 2026, the case was transferred to the Ashanti North Regional Criminal Investigations Department (CID) for further investigations,” the statement said in part.

The suspects were subsequently brought before the Nsuta Circuit Court, presided over by His Honour Nketia Galga, on November 12 and remanded into police custody.

The Police said the investigation is ongoing and assured the public that the matter was being handled professionally.

“The Command assures the public of a thorough investigation,” the statement added.

The development follows an earlier announcement by the Ghana Education Service (GES) that it had interdicted the two teachers over allegations of sexual misconduct involving a male student of the school.

In a statement issued on November 12, GES said it had referred the matter to the Police for investigation and that the alleged victim had been provided with psychosocial support.
