● Sefakor obtained aggregate 12 in the 2022 BECE
The fate of a 16-year-old girl who obtained Aggregate 12 in the 2022 Basic Education Certificate Examination (BECE) and got admission into St Martins Senior High School at Nsawam in the Eastern Region, hangs in the balance.
The future of Miss Kokoroko Sefakor Debase former pupil of Odumplala M/A Basic School in the Ga South Municipality of the Greater Accra Region, seems bleak as snippets of information The Spectator has received indicate that her mother has told her to learn a trade instead of pursuing further education.
Reason? The mother said she could not take care of the girl’s elder brother who is currently a student at the Accra Technical University (ATU) and at the same time cater for her in the Secondary School.
So, she has asked Sefokor to abandon her dream of going to a Senior High School and rather learn hairdressing.
Ms. Sefakor chose Aburi Girls Senior High as her first choice, St Martins Senior High 2nd choice, and Methodist Girls Senior High at Mamfe 3rd choice, Ngleshie Amanfro Senior High, 4th choice and St. Thomas Senior High/ Technical 5th choice.
Fortunately, she got admission in her second choice St. Martins Senior High School as a Boarding Student to read General Science.
But her mother’s decision is gradually dampening the high spirit of the student and The Spectator is appealing to well-meaning Ghanaians and philanthropic organisations to come to her aid.

The Tema Regional Police Command has arrested a 32-year-old man for allegedly posing as a soldier and extorting money from unsuspecting members of the public at Ashaiman.
The suspect, identified as Bright Atsu Kudiabor, was arrested by the Ashaiman Police on Wednesday, September 16, 2026, at about 7:00 a.m.
According to the Police, he was arrested at an area known as “I Shall Return”, where he was allegedly parading himself as a soldier and demanding money from people.
The Police said Kudiabor, who is an ex-convict, was initially arrested by personnel of the Ghana National Fire Service in Ashaiman with assistance from other members of the public.
A search conducted on him after he was handed over to the Police reportedly led to the recovery of a set of military camouflage uniform.
The suspect is currently in Police custody and assisting with investigations.
The Tema Regional Police Command said he would be processed for court after investigations are completed.
The Police urged the public to remain vigilant and report anyone who falsely presents themselves as a soldier or a member of another security agency to deceive or extort money from the public.

Volta Regional Minister, James Gunu, says the Volta Region holds enormous agricultural potential and efforts must be geared towards connecting farmers to the needed resources to unlock that potential.
He said focus must be on linking farmers to resources, technology, financing and markets to increase production, create jobs and build sustainable livelihoods.
Hon. Gunu made the remarks at the national launch of the Ghana Tomato Self-Sufficiency Initiative (GHATSI) held at Anloga in the Volta Region on Tuesday, September 15.
The initiative, under the theme “Produce at Home. Feed the Nation. Export the Surplus,” seeks to boost local tomato production, processing and marketing while reducing Ghana’s heavy reliance on imported tomatoes.
The launch was attended by the Minister for Food and Agriculture, Eric Opoku, his Deputy, John Setor Dumelo, Feed Ghana Coordinator, Bright Demordzi, Members of Parliament, traditional leaders, MMDCEs, farmers and other stakeholders.
Mr.Gunu expressed appreciation to the Minister for Food and Agriculture for the support announced for the region, including two excavators, 200 cartons of organic fertiliser, and GH¢200,000 for Ms. Kuatudzo Esther Dela, a tomato farmer and processor from Ziope.
He described the initiative as an important step towards making agriculture a stronger driver of food security, job creation and economic growth in the Volta Region.
