School head forces son to marry 14-year-old classmate
A 14-year-old class six pupil of the Tinkong SDA
primary School in the Eastern region has been
compelled to drop out of school after she was
impregnated by the son of her school’s
management committee chairman.

The committee chairman, Mr. Michael Enyonam is
allegedly forcing the 14-year-old girl to marry
his son, classmate of the victim.

Starr News investigations have revealed that the
chairman, reported to be pastor of a local
spiritual Church kept the girl in his house for
weeks without her parents’ consent under the
pretext of taking care of her.

The livid father of the victim, speaking to Starr
News’ Eastern regional Correspondent Kojo Ansah
said the chairman is coercing his daughter into
marrying his son.

According to the father of the victim, even though
his daughter was staying with the mother, he takes
good care of his daughter rubbishing claims by Mr.
Enyonam that the parents were unable to take care
of the victim hence the decision to accommodate
the victim in his house.

“I noticed changes in my daughter but when I
asked her she didn’t admit. I later went to the
school authorities before they confirmed my
daughter was indeed pregnant.

“Later, my daughter revealed that it was the son
of the chairman who got her pregnant so I reported
the case to the Police. I am not happy with the
development of this case,” the victim’s father
said.

He added that Mr. Enyonam has been summoned to a
meeting by the family and after that the case will
be reported to the police.

Checks in the school indicates that, teachers are
extremely worried about the unfortunate
development even though when contacted, the
headmistress of the School, declined comment.
