Teaching and learning at the Dzindziso D/A Junior High School (JHS) in the Kadjebi District have been suspended after unknown persons allegedly splashed human faeces and placed cola nuts at the entrances of all three classrooms, triggering panic among students and teachers.

According to a letter dated November 26, 2025, and addressed to the Kadjebi District Director of Education, the disturbing scene was discovered early in the morning as school was about to begin.

The report stated that parcels of human excreta wrapped in polythene bags were placed directly in front of the Form One, Form Two, and Form Three classrooms.

Each parcel was surrounded by cola nuts, making it impossible for students and teachers to enter the rooms without stepping over the substances.

School authorities quickly informed the Assemblyman for the Dzindziso Electoral Area and the Parent-Teacher Association (PTA) Chairman, who both visited the school to assess the situation.

Concerned for the health and safety of learners and staff, they advised that students be sent home and the incident reported to the appropriate authorities.

Mr. Lukman Hamza, Assemblyman for the area, confirmed the incident in an interview with the Ghana News Agency (GNA), describing it as “shocking and deeply troubling.”

He said investigations were underway to identify the perpetrators and uncover their motives.

Mr. Seth Seyram Deh, Kadjebi District Director of Education, also confirmed the report, stating that the school had been officially closed until the environment is deemed safe for teaching and learning to resume.

He noted that the Dzindziso E.P. JHS had previously suffered similar attacks, which led to its temporary closure in the past.

He added that he and the Kadjebi District Chief Executive (DCE) would soon meet with community members to explore measures to prevent future incidents.

A staff member, who spoke to the GNA on condition of anonymity, said the school had experienced multiple similar attacks, suggesting that some individuals in the community may be opposed to the school’s continued operation.

Community members have expressed deep concern over the latest incident and are calling for swift action to protect the school and ensure the safety of children. Authorities have assured the public that the matter is being treated with urgency.
