The Ghana Education Service (GES) has announced the interdiction of Adams Mahama Issahaku, headmaster of Piina Senior High School in the Upper West Region, following a directive from the Director-General of the Service.
The action, effective immediately, is in connection with an ongoing investigation into allegations involving food items found in Mr. Issahaku’s official pick-up vehicle on his way from Piina SHS to Wa on Thursday, February 6, 2025.
A February 7 letter signed by Razak Z. Abdul-Korah, Regional Director of GES for the Upper West Region, emphasised that the interdiction is a procedural measure and does not amount to a presumption of guilt.
The GES assured all stakeholders that the investigation would be thorough, and Mr. Issahaku would be notified of the findings and any subsequent decisions.
As part of the directive, Mr. Issahaku has been instructed to hand over the administration of the school and all associated property to the Upper West Regional Director of Education.
He has also been urged to cooperate fully with the investigation by making himself available as needed and avoiding any actions that might compromise the process.
The letter further assured the public of GES’s commitment to upholding transparency and accountability in the education sector.
It called on Mr. Issahaku and all relevant parties to adhere to the directives and facilitate the smooth progression of the investigation.
