18-Year-Old O’Reilly SHS Student Stabbed to Death

Tragedy has struck O’Reilly Senior High School (O’REISCO), a co-educational boarding institution located at Okpoi-Gonno in the Ledzokuku-Krowor Municipal District of Accra.

The deceased’s uncle, Emmanuel Sackey, received a shocking call informing him that his nephew had been stabbed at school. The young student, who was supposed to be preparing for his WASSCE exams, tragically lost his life.

Details are still emerging as neither the police nor the school has provided the family with an official briefing. According to reports, the student was stabbed in the chest 3 times by a fellow student.

Classmates in the examination hall had to finish their paper before rushing to assist him. Despite their efforts to secure a taxi, they couldn’t find one in time, and it was a private vehicle that eventually transported him to the hospital. Sadly, it was too late.

The circumstances leading to the stabbing are not yet clear, as investigations are ongoing. The student responsible for the stabbing has been apprehended by the police to assist with inquiries.

School authorities, including the teachers and headmaster, have not yet briefed the family, as they are conducting their investigations before making any official statements.

Currently the family and loved ones of the deceased student are at the school premises seeking justice for their boy.

This is a developing story, and more updates will follow as information becomes available.
