The deceased teacher, George Somuah who is a Twi and Religious and Moral Education teacher at the Asiakwa Salvation Army Basic School was assaulted by the accused persons on April 25, 2019, and he died on May 4 at the hospital. Lawyer for the accused persons, Peter Nimako prayed the court to grant his clients bail, but the Kibi District judge Alice EfuaYirenkyi remanded them into prison custody to re-appear before the court on June 25.
Some teachers and members of the national leadership of the Ghana National Teachers Association were at the court to give their solidarity. Teachers of the Asiakwa Salvation Army Basic School have refused to teach following the death of their colleague.

Sometimes I blame our law enforcement agencies for some of these things. There is too much feet-dragging in our criminal justice system. It gives the wrong signals to people to misbehave in this country. When even murder cases take such a long time in our courts, some people think that, even if he is caught for murder, it will take several years for the case to be determined. Some of the cases are even forgotten. Just take a cursory look at the case of the murdered MP, and the Army Officer. The cases are still at snails's pace and can take years to be determined. Something must be done about such crimes and as quickly as possible to send the message to people to desist from engaging themselves in such nefarious activities in this country.
sign of the end times. Jesus will surely come. Instead of mothers taking time to train the children, they spend time 'fighting' men that they are co-equals, all in the name of feminism and affirmative action. Women giving birth anyhow without plan, chasing money, abandoning children and homes for their comfort. When we start obeying God, we will will realise that the bible should be the basis of life after all. The world will change but the word of God will be the same forever and ever. so lets obey it!
Instead of you guys to learn and become better people in the future, you have decided to go down this path. There is so much curses following because of what you have done. May God forgive you
These people and their entirely families are use less and dirty people. All of you are SHAME. Like the father and mother like son. These people were trained like DOGS and BULLS. God will punish you all including your fathers and mothers. Killing human being is one t=of the greatest sin and l am sure the GOD will NEVER pardon you all. All o9f you will suffer for the rest of your respectives lives. Satan will Bless you all.
I do not know what is becoming of our students and youth in general of late. This is the climax of indiscipline right from the home. It is sad indeed. Our parents have a duty to bring up their children on strict discipline right from the onset and we will not have such heart-breaking situations on our hands. My condolences to bereaved family. May the Lord console them.
