The Chairman of the Ghana National Association of Teachers (GNAT) for the Madina Adenta Abokobi Municipality has expressed dissatisfaction with the recent ruling in the assault case involving a teacher at West Africa Senior High School (WASS).

On Monday, March 30, 2026, the Adentan Circuit Court fined three individuals GH¢4,000 each after they admitted to assaulting Nicholas Teye, the teacher in question.

Following the ruling, the association indicated that it was not satisfied with the outcome and announced plans to appeal the case.

Speaking to Adom News, the chairman, whose name was not disclosed, stressed that such incidents are gradually becoming a norm and must be stopped.

“As a union leader, I am not happy with what happened. This thing has become a norm. We can appeal. And they should accept. These are the people who support this nonsense. We will appeal this decision. I am going to write officially to our headquarters. We will appeal this decision for these miscreants to stop it. You see what he started? Yeah. We are ready. I was talking to you cool. But we will appeal it and we will come back to the court and we will see how it goes. After WASSCE, we will come,” he said.

Meanwhile, the teacher at the center of the assault has also expressed his dissatisfaction with the ruling.

According to him, he had expected the students to be jailed for at least two years.

He further disclosed that prior to the ruling, the students had told him the case would not amount to anything, a statement he now believes has been confirmed by the outcome of the case.
