GES Reacts to Okadjakrom SHS Teacher Over Alleged Atopa Video, Sends strong warning to teachers
The Ghana Education Service (GES) has interdicted Mr. Mfo Richard Tibetor, a teacher at Okadjakrom Senior High Technical School in the Jasikan Municipality of the Oti Region, over allegations of sexual misconduct. This follows the circulation of a disturbing video on social media that allegedly captured the teacher in an inappropriate act with a female student.
In a statement issued on Thursday, October 2, 2025, the GES described the alleged conduct as unacceptable, unethical, and a violation of the professional code of conduct for teachers. As a result, Mr. Tibetor has been interdicted and prohibited from accessing the school premises while investigations into the matter continue.
According to the statement signed by Daniel Fenyi, Head of Public Relations at GES, the safety and protection of students remain the topmost priority of the Service. The GES assured parents, guardians, and the public that any teacher found guilty of misconduct that threatens the dignity and wellbeing of students will face the full rigours of the law.
The Service further emphasized its commitment to maintaining discipline, professionalism, and child protection in all schools across the country. It added that it will not tolerate any acts that compromise the integrity of the teaching profession or endanger students.
The interdiction comes at a time when concerns about teacher-student relationships have been on the rise, prompting calls for stricter monitoring and enforcement of professional standards. The GES reiterated that it will continue to uphold its code of conduct to safeguard the welfare of all students in Ghana.
