Students dismissed for homosexuality

Akosombo, Mar. 8, GNA - A third-year student of the Akwamuman Secondary School in Akosombo, Master Pius Selassie Lumor, has been dismissed for allegedly engaging in homosexuality in the boarding house. His 'accomplice' Master Teye Emmanuel Daitey Jnr. has also been 'deboardinised' for allegedly condoning and conniving the act.

According to sources close to the school authorities, Lumor was caught in the act at about 0145 hours, over the weekend by a second-year student, who feigned asleep.

The source said some of the students interviewed, claimed that Lumor had been known to be indulging in the act for sometime now and therefore felt it was time to expose him to the authorities of his deviant behaviour.

According to his mates, he enticed his victims with gifts and shared his provisions including gari and "shito" with them.

"The final stage of his modus operandi is when he shares his cosmetics, especially, body spray with the victim. This, it is believed, had a hypnotic effect on the intended victim and thus gave him the chance to practice his act on him at the time the victim is fast asleep", according to some students.
