An 18-year-old student of the Ghana National College has sadly passed away. Theophilus Ansah reportedly died after a short illness in school. Narrating the sad events leading to the demise of the young boy, one of his relatives said at a press conference on Thursday, June 28, 2024, that Theophilus called home to inform his mum that he was ill.
His mum advised him to report to the infirmary, but upon reaching there, there was allegedly no one on duty. She then sent money through a man in the school, asked him to get some medicine for the boy and send him home.
They got the medication, but the boy insisted he had an exam the following Monday, so he could not come home. His mum agreed and allowed him to stay for the paper.
Later on Monday, after their exam, a friend of the boy called his family to inform him that Theophilus had vomited throughout their paper, and claimed no supervisor or teacher attended to him. His mum then asked the friend to report the incident to the Housemaster and send Theophilus to the hospital, which he said he did. For three days, it is alleged no teacher or school authority visited the boy or called to find out how he was doing. Sadly, he passed away at the hospital. Following these events, the family has accused the school of negligence and is calling for justice for their beloved.
