The Senior Housemaster of Achimota School has threatened to take legal action following the circulation of what he describes as “false and defamatory” allegations of sextortion leveled against him.
In a statement released yesterday, the Housemaster categorically denied the claims, insisting that they are entirely fabricated and have no basis in fact. He expressed deep concern over the impact of the allegations on his personal reputation, professional standing, and the integrity of the school community.
“These allegations are completely false. I have never engaged in such conduct, and I will vigorously defend my name against this malicious attempt to tarnish my reputation,” the statement read.
The school’s administration has reportedly been made aware of the situation, and sources suggest that an internal review is underway to investigate the origin of the claims and the spread of the misinformation.
Legal experts say that if proven false, those spreading the allegations could face civil action for defamation, and potentially criminal liability under Ghanaian law.
The Housemaster has called on the public and media to exercise caution and refrain from spreading unverified information, while reiterating his commitment to the welfare and education of the students under his supervision.
The incident has sparked a wider discussion on social media about the dangers of false online accusations and the need for responsible digital conduct.
