A 19-year-old student of the Salaga Senior High School identified
by police as Mohammed Abdul Rauf has been crippled after he
was shot multiple times by a teacher of the school for attending
entertainment sessions on campus while on suspension.
The incident occurred on Saturday, Dec. 1, at about 9.30pm, after
the victim and his colleagues, who had been suspended last month
for allegedly smoking marijuana, came to the school to attend a
party organized for students, Starr News gathered.
The victim and his friends left the campus briefly after their
presence triggered a mild confusion. The teacher, now identified as
Amadu Sulley and teaches Social Studies, was informed about the
commotion and the presence of the suspended students.
Sulley reached out for his gun and traced the suspended students
to an area called Ngua Mallam in the township, where a quarrel
broke out between them.
The teacher allegedly slapped one of the boys before shooting at
both legs of the victim.
The police confirming the incident, say they are investigating and
that a manhunt was already underway for the teacher who has
reportedly fled after the attack.
Northern Regional Police spokesman, DSP Mohammed Yussif
Tanko said, the victim had been treated at the Salaga Government
Hospital and was in stable condition.
But, Starr News has gathered that doctors at the facility were
unsuccessful in efforts to remove the pellets from his legs and
preparations were being made to transfer him to the Tamale
Teaching Hospital.
