According to reports Dunkwa reportedly tried to cover up the incident by convincing a male student to claim responsibility for the pregnancy to avoid legal consequences.
"I was called by the headteacher to come to his house one Saturday. He told me there was a serious issue. He had impregnated a girl, and I was asked to take responsibility so that it could be settled at home. I later called the girl’s family, and her father invited me to his house. Later, I heard the teacher had been arrested at the Sekondi Police Station. He was later granted bail," a JHS graduate of the school narrated in a video accompanying the post.
