The student who was assaulted by his colleague at the Adisadel College has been recalled after he was suspended by the school.

Sources at the school disclosed that the victim is also undergoing medical treatment and has been assigned a psychologist to rehabilitate him and help him through the trauma he went through.

Adisadel College gained media attention when a viral video filmed in a dormitory in the school showed one student locking the arms of another and forcefully hitting his face against a metal bed, resulting in profuse bleeding below the victim’s right eye.

The video sparked outrage and concerns among parents, students, and the general public calling for action to be taken and all the students involved were subsequently suspended.

A briefing from the school disclosed that the incident occurred on June 30, but both the perpetrator and the victim initially kept it hidden from the authorities.

Both the culprit responsible for the assault and the victim were sent home, with the suspect expected to write his West African Senior School Certificate Examination (WASSCE) from the West African Examinations Council’s (WAEC) centre.

Meanwhile,  the Attorney General and Minister of Justice, Godfred Dame who is also an old student of the school has  directed Police in the Central Region to investigate the assault and arraign the suspect by Friday, July 28.
