The Mental Health Society of Ghana and the National Mental Health Alliance have formally requested an investigation. They want the Attorney-General to look into claims of sexual assault.
The alleged incident happened at Bolga Girls Senior High School in the Upper East Region. The victim is a 14-year-old student with special needs.
These groups are urging for prosecution if the evidence supports the allegations. They believe swift action is necessary to address the situation.
The call follows reports of the alleged assault. The details of the incident are currently under review by the authorities.
This matter highlights concerns about the safety and well-being of students, especially those with special needs, in educational institutions.
The Attorney-General's office is expected to respond to the petition from the mental health advocates.
