Assault of Kade SHTS Tutor, 5 Remanded into Prison Custody

Five persons have been convicted and remanded into prison custody in connection with the assault of a tutor at Kade Senior High Technical School (SHTS) in the Eastern South Region.

The convicted individuals are Felix Nana Danquah, Isaac Okai (also known as Dubai), Edward Baah (alias Missed Call), Maxwell Kwasi Antwi (alias Ozil), and Richmond Yeboah (also known as Star Boy).

According to the Ghana Police Service, the accused persons were arrested from their hideouts and arraigned before the Kade District Court on Wednesday, January 7, 2026. They were charged with conspiracy to commit crime and assault.

During the court proceedings, all five accused persons pleaded guilty to the charges and were convicted on their own plea. However, the court deferred their sentencing and ordered that they be remanded into prison custody. They are expected to reappear before the court on January 20, 2026, for sentencing.

The Police have used the incident to caution the general public, particularly the youth, to desist from engaging in violent attacks, stressing that such acts constitute criminal offences punishable by law.

The Ghana Police Service has also reaffirmed its commitment to protecting lives and property and ensuring public safety across the region
