The Kade District Court has fined five persons GH¢1,800 each, with an alternative of six months’ imprisonment, for their involvement in the assault of a teacher at Kade Senior High Technical School (KASTEC) in the Eastern Region.
The court, presided over by His Worship David Ofori, delivered the ruling on Tuesday, January 20, 2026, after the suspects were found guilty of attacking Michael Quayson, a teacher at the school.
Those convicted are Felix Darquah, Isaac Baah, Richmond Yeboah, Edward Baah, and Maxwell Kwasi Antwi. The court ordered each of them to pay the fine or serve a six-month jail term in default.

Meanwhile, another suspect, Kingsley Baah, who went into hiding after the incident, has since been arrested. He was arraigned before the same court and remanded into prison custody for two weeks to assist with ongoing investigations.
The court cautioned the suspects against future acts of violence and stressed the importance of peace and respect for the rule of law, particularly within school environments.
Reacting to the verdict, Edward Osae Asare, Zonal Chairman of the National Association of Graduate Teachers (NAGRAT) for Kade, welcomed the decision, describing it as a deterrent to indiscipline among students.
According to him, the ruling sends a strong message that assaults on teachers will not be tolerated and should encourage students to respect educators who are enforcing discipline.
