The female student of Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology (KNUST) Senior High School, who was captured in a viral video with the school’s assistant headmaster in a compromising situation, has spoken publicly about her age.

In an interview with Adom News, the student stated emphatically that she is 19 years old, not 13 as has been widely speculated.

“Just tell them I am 19 years old; I was born on July 21, 2006. I’m not 13 years old,” she clarified.

Her comments come after the Ghana Education Service (GES) on Monday interdicted the Assistant Headmaster (Academic) of KNUST SHS, Charles Akwasi Aidoo, following the circulation of the viral video.

Meanwhile, the Ministry of Gender, Children, and Social Protection, in a separate statement, maintained that the student involved is 13 years old and has called for the immediate arrest of the assistant headmaster as investigations continue.
