The Ghana Education Service (GES) has interdicted Mr. Adams Mahama Issahaku, Headmaster of Piina Senior High School in the Upper West Region, pending the outcome of a full-scale investigation. This directive was issued by the Upper West Regional Education Office on February 7, 2025.
According to an official letter signed by the Regional Director of Education, Mr. Razak Z. Abdul-Korah, the interdiction follows a case involving alleged unauthorized items found in the school head’s official vehicle during a routine pickup from Piina SHS to Wa on February 6, 2025.
The letter emphasized that the interdiction is a procedural requirement and does not imply any presumption of guilt. It further assured that Mr. Issahaku will be duly informed of the outcome of the investigations and any subsequent decisions.
As part of the directive, Mr. Issahaku has been instructed to hand over the administration of the school and all school properties in his possession to the Upper West Regional Director of Education.
