A teacher at Nyinahini Catholic Senior High School has been arrested following the circulation of a viral video that appears to show him physically assaulting a female student on the school’s campus.
The arrest was confirmed by the Ghana Education Service (GES) through its Public Relations Officer, Daniel Fenyi, who disclosed the development in a Facebook post on Tuesday, June 9, 2026.
“The Nyinahini Catholic SHS teacher seen in the viral video fighting a female student arrested! Regional education directorate is investigating the matter. Full report to be submitted to HQ,” Fenyi wrote.
The incident has triggered widespread public outrage after footage shared on social media appeared to show the teacher repeatedly striking the student during a confrontation witnessed by other students and staff.
According to accounts from the video, the teacher allegedly punched the student several times and at one point lifted and threw her to the ground. Onlookers could be heard pleading with him to stop, reminding him that the individual involved was a female student.
However, the teacher, who appeared visibly agitated in the footage, reportedly responded by asking, “Is she aware she is a lady?”
