President John Mahama has expressed worry about the practice in some senior high schools where Muslims students are forced to observe the Christian faith, saying the practice infringes on the right to freedom of worship as enshrined in the constitution.

Addressing Moslems at the Independence Square in Accra to mark the Eid-ul-Adha, President Mahama directed the Education Minister to ensure that the practice is stopped immediately.

The President also called for special prayers for former Vice President Aliu Mahama who is reportedly on admission at a hospital.
