The Ashanti Regional Police Command has jailed an instructor of Nyinahin Catholic Secondary school following the circulation of a viral video revealing the assault of a female student.
The suspect, determined as Eric Buernortey Apaflo, 39, was apprehended by a Nyinahini District Cops Patrol Team at about 7:00 p.m. on June 8, 2026, after reports emerged that he had actually assaulted an 18-year-old student, Patience Chibu.
According to a police statement, preliminary investigations exposed that the suspect, who serves as a caretaker of the school’s hostel, confronted the student and several male trainees over supposed misconduct at the hostel. Authorities stated a misconception occurred throughout the fight, causing the attack on the female trainee.
The event apparently activated outrage amongst some students, who presumably showered the suspect with stones and welcomed youths from the community to the school hostel in an attempt to assault him.
Cops said the scenario was quickly brought under control through the intervention of a patrol team, avoiding more escalation.
A Cops Medical Report Form has actually been released to the victim to help with medical checkup and treatment, while the suspect stays in authorities custody helping private investigators.
The Ashanti Regional Cops Command prompted members of the general public to stay calm and solve grievances through legal and serene methods as investigations into the occurrence continue.
