One of the challenges faced by the court was assembling the necessary number of persons to form a jury for the juvenile case, leading to the decision to grant bail to the accused student.
The student at the centre of an alleged assault case at Adisadel College, which sent shockwaves across social media, has been granted bail by the Cape Coast District Court 2. The court proceedings, presided over by Judge Eric Oheneba Antwi Boasiako, took place in the judge's chambers, and the case has been adjourned to August 2, 2023.
One of the challenges faced by the court was assembling the necessary number of persons to form a jury for the juvenile case, leading to the decision to grant bail to the accused student.
Earlier this week, the police in Cape Coast arrested the student and cautioned him with causing harm and assault following the disturbing video that went viral, capturing a violent attack on another student within a dormitory at Adisadel College.
In response to the incident, the school took immediate action, suspending the victim initially. However, in light of recent developments, the victim has been called back to the school, and appropriate measures are being taken to ensure his well-being and provide necessary support for his recovery during this time.
The case has garnered significant attention and concern from the public and educational community. With the student now granted bail, the trial will continue to be closely monitored as the court seeks to establish accountability and justice for the alleged assault.
As the case proceeds, it serves as a stark reminder of the importance of fostering a safe and respectful environment within educational institutions. Authorities, parents, and educators are urged to work together to promote a culture of respect, empathy, and conflict resolution among students, ensuring that incidents of this nature are prevented and swiftly addressed when they do occur.
