Dismissed Chiana students remorseful, plead for forgiveness

Dismissed students of the Chiana Senior High School in the Kassena-Nankana West District of the Upper East Region have expressed remorse for using unprintable words on President Akufo-Addo and are pleading for forgiveness from the first gentleman of the land.

The eight students who were dismissed for insulting president Akufo-Addo were asked never to return to the school after investigations were launched into their misconduct.

Some of the students who spoke to Citi News said they didn’t mean to say what was uttered in the video which has since gone viral.

They said they were only imitating social trends.

Hamidu Huzaimah Daabu, one of the dismissed students said they were asked to leave the school on November 15, 2022, and when they were called for a meeting on January 11, they thought it was to announce their return only to be handed dismissal letters.

“It was yesterday [January 11] that they called us to come for a meeting, and I was thinking that they were calling us to come and do some manual punishment, but when we got there with our parents, we were given dismissal letters which made us cry before the headmistress and the district director of education.

“I am pleading for them to have mercy on us because we are left with a few months to complete [SHS] and come home, we are willing to sign a bond and any other punishment.”

“We were only imitating people on social media, and we didn’t know it will go this far, please have mercy on us,” she pleaded.
