Mr Fordjour revealed this while speaking on the Citi Breakfast Show on Friday June 30.

“He is the landlord and so if it [the trophy] doesn’t go there, we will be taken hostage,” he said.

The Kumasi-based senior high school won the final of the 2017 edition of the science and maths competition at the National Theatre in Accra.

They beat closest rivals St Thomas Aquinas with a two-point difference. At the end of the competition, Prempeh College had 53 points while Aquinas had 51.
