Speaking to Citi FM, Mr.Sackey said, they want the school authority to come out and explain why they watched on for such a thing to happen on the school premises.
We want the school authority to come out and explain why such a thing would happen on the school premises without an intervention.
Mr.Sackey said he was called at work that one of his colleagues is fighting him, “so I asked whether there are no teachers at the school, but my niece who was at the scene told me the teachers are not showing any concern so I should rush and come.”
“On my way, I was told that he had been stabbed, lying lifeless and rushed to LEKMA, I rushed there and the doctor told my son had passed,” he revealed.
A tragic incident occurred yesterday, September 2, 2024 at O’Reilly SHS in Accra, where final year student Edward Borketey Sackey was stabbed to death by a fellow student after a heated argument.
