DAILY GUIDE has gathered that the headmaster of Cape Three Point Catholic Primary School in the Ahanta West Municipality of the Western Region is on the run after allegedly defiling a 12-year-old pupil of the school.
The incident reportedly happened on Monday, October 22, 2018.
The police in the municipality are therefore searching for the Headmaster, Charles Cromwell, believed to be in his early 50s.
The suspect was said to have lured the pupil to his house after school last Monday and defiled her several times after which he gave the victim GH¢ 5.00.
The alleged act of the headmaster was exposed after two colleagues of the victim in the same school, who claimed they saw the headmaster defiling the innocent girl through a window, raised the alarm.
Speaking on Takoradi-based Connect FM, the two colleagues remarked: “We spotted the girl heading towards the headmaster’s house so we questioned her and she told us the headmaster had asked her to go to his house”.
They told Nhyiraba Paa Kwesi Simpson host of the programme that “we clandestinely followed the girl till she entered the headmaster’s room”.
“We peeped through the window and witnessed all the action before we raised the alarm,” the pupils revealed.
They indicated that a report was lodged with the police later in the evening but when they went to arrest the suspect on Tuesday morning he had bolted from the house.
The victim had since been issued with medical forms to go for examination while the police had intensified search for the headmaster.
