The Toase District Court has struck out the case involving a teacher and a student of Nyinahin Catholic Senior High School who were captured in a widely circulated video engaging in a physical altercation on campus.
The incident, which sparked public outrage after the video went viral on social media, led to the arrest of the teacher, Eric Buernortey Apaflo. In the footage, the teacher is seen repeatedly striking the female student before lifting and throwing her to the ground.
When the case came before the court, the presiding judge urged the teacher, the student, and their families to resolve the matter amicably through reconciliation and an out-of-court settlement.
Speaking to the media after the court proceedings, Ashanti Regional GNAT Chairman, Professor Elvis Binney, called on civil society organisations and members of the teaching community to refrain from making prejudicial comments or issuing threats against the teacher.
