Teaching and learning activities at the Dzindziso D/A Junior High School (JHS) and Dzindziso E.P JHS in Kadjebi District of the Oti region remain suspended following a series of disturbing incidents involving the spraying of faeces and cola nuts placed at the schools’ entrances and classrooms.
When the Ghana News Agency (GNA) visited the schools on Tuesday, December 9, the classroom doors were locked, with no academic activity taking place.
The eerie silence underscored the impact of the mysterious acts that have unsettled both staff and students.
Mr Cephas Agbomson, Headmaster of Dzindziso E.P JHS, told the GNA via telephone that the school had been closed since November 11, 2025.
He said the decision followed a formal report he submitted to the Kadjebi District Director of Education after one of the attacks.
He explained that the closure had disrupted the academic calendar, as learners have been unable to sit for their second-term examinations.
“The pupils are now loitering in the Dzindziso township because we cannot risk opening the classrooms,” he lamented.
Mr Agbomson added that leadership of the School Management Committee and the Parent-Teacher Association had met with the District Director of Education, and discussions were underway to address the matter and restore normalcy.
Mr Killian Ahiadorme, Headmaster of Dzindziso D/A JHS, shared similar concerns when contacted by the GNA.
He said teachers were reluctant to use the classrooms due to the perceived spiritual implications linked to the incident.
“We are waiting for directives from the District Director of Education before taking any further action,” he noted.
Confirming the closure, Mr Seth Seyram Deh, Kadjebi District Director of Education, said authorities could not determine the intent or possible effects of the faeces and cola nuts wrapped in polythene and deposited around the schools.
He stressed that the safety of learners and staff remained their top priority. Mr Deh disclosed that consultations involving school authorities and the Kadjebi District Chief Executive were ongoing, expressing optimism that the situation would soon be resolved to allow academic work to resume.
