A 16-year-old general arts female student (name withheld) at Mpraeso Senior High School in the Eastern region is alleged to have been raped by eight boys.

Five out of the eight boys who are also students at the school have been arrested and are in custody at Nkwatia Divisional Police Command whilst the other three are at large.

Attempt to speak with the headmaster, James Affadu proved futile, yet he has confirmed the incident in an audio Onua News has intercepted.

The incident according to him, occurred on Sunday October 6 but because he wasn't around at the time the school delayed in reporting the case to the Police.
