The bursar of Ghanata Senior High School (SHS), Lamisi Sarah, has been arrested over the alleged diversion of food supplies intended for students.
The Member of Parliament for Shai-Osudoku and Greater Accra Regional Minister, Linda Ocloo, confirmed the arrest, explaining that credible reports received in recent weeks suggested the bursar had been diverting portions of food provisions meant to support student welfare and nutrition.
Describing the situation as disturbing, the Minister said the alleged act represents a serious breach of trust and public duty, particularly as the supplies are meant to ensure proper nourishment for students.
According to her, after receiving the complaints, she alerted the constituency’s National Security apparatus to conduct a discreet investigation.
She said that while she was in the constituency on Tuesday, February 17, the alleged diversion was confirmed and Lamisi Sarah was apprehended.
“I directed the officers to hand her over to the Police so that due process can take its full course under the law,” she added.
Investigations into the matter are ongoing.
