Police have declared the father of the suspect, Bernard Amoateng, wanted to assist in their investigation. According to police sources, Bernard Amoateng, the student accused of firing the gun and injuring a female student Suzzy Penamang and one other student, claims the weapon belongs to his father and was taken without his consent from their home. Despite Bernard Amoateng allegedly taking responsibility for the shooting and pleading for his father’s freedom, police are treating the matter with seriousness.

He was reportedly scheduled to return to school on March 20th but allegedly failed to do so. The headmistress’s report further indicates that Bernard Amoateng secretly attended classes as a day student, despite his status as a boarder, without the knowledge of school authorities until the shooting occurred. Sources close to the SDA Ashanti regional management of schools suggest that the headmistress’s report is currently under review. However, some students who claim to have seen the report have reportedly expressed skepticism, questioning why school authorities failed to inquire about Bernard Amoateng’s health and the doctor’s findings when they saw him at school after his authorized absence. They also raised concerns about the boarding attendant’s lack of oversight regarding a boarder’s unexcused absence from the boarding house.
