The Ghana Education Service (GES) has, with immediate effect, interdicted Mfo Richard Tibetor, a teacher at Okadjakrom Senior High Technical School (Okadjakrom SHS), after a video allegedly showing him engaged in sexual misconduct with a female student surfaced online.
In a press release issued on Thursday, October 2, 2025, and signed by Head of Public Relations, Daniel Fenyi, the GES confirmed it had “taken note of a disturbing video circulation on social media” involving the teacher.
Okadjakrom SHS is located in the Jasikan Municipality of the Oti Region.
The Service strongly condemned the alleged actions, stressing that “Management of GES finds the conduct unacceptable, unethical, and a clear violation of the professional code of conduct for teachers.”
Consequently, Tibetor has not only been interdicted but also “prohibited from entering the school premises pending further investigations into the matter.”
Reassuring the public, the GES emphasised that “the safety and protection of all students remain our topmost priority.”
The statement further cautioned other educators, noting that “any teacher found culpable of acts that compromise the dignity and well-being of students will face the full rigours of the law in accordance with the GES Code of Conduct.”
The Service reiterated its dedication to “ensuring discipline, professionalism, and child protection across all schools in the country.”
The case now awaits the outcome of official investigations.
