The social media page of Presbyterian Boys’ Senior High School (Presec Legon) has responded to a viral report alleging that five students from their institution were involved in homosexual activities.
The handle of the school has shared the initial article published by Ghana Crime and borrowed Ynnone Nelson’s phrase This is not Yvonne Nelson’s catchphrase, which was the title of her renowned book, to convey their message that the report is false.
Essentially, the school aims to emphasize that the story lacks veracity.
As per a tweet that went viral from Ghana Crimes, it emerged that Presec Legon has suspended five students for their involvement in homosexual activities.
According to the report, the school authorities became aware of the incident when two of the students recorded their actions, and the videos subsequently circulated on campus.
The remaining three students were reported by their classmates. Initially, the school opted to conceal the incident to protect the school’s reputation.
However, as the video began to circulate beyond the campus, the school decided to take action against the students. It is worth mentioning that Presec is highly regarded in Ghana and has an impressive track record of winning eight trophies in the National Science and Maths Quiz.
Ghana Crimes shared the disturbing news, saying:
JUST IN: Five Presec students have been suspended indefinitely for participating in homosexual activities. Two were recorded on video, while the other three were reported by fellow students. The school initially remained silent and tried to cover up the incident but eventually
Homosexuality on the increase in High Schools – Researcher
Frank Okyere, a researcher and Senior High School teacher, has brought to light the widespread presence of homosexuality in Ghanaian society, despite the public facade of adherence to societal norms.
In a report shared in 2017, Okyere revealed that even prominent ministers of God, wives of gospel ministers, and children from supposedly devout households are deeply involved in this immoral act.
During an interview on GBC’s Garden City Radio in Kumasi, Okyere discussed the findings of his latest research, stating that homosexuality is also prevalent within formal school settings. Shockingly, some respondents confirmed that they were introduced to this behaviour at the tender age of six by close-blood relatives, family friends, or caretakers.
Furthermore, Okyere highlighted that while some of these individuals are still active members of their churches, others are well-known singers who play significant roles during church services.
He emphasized that during his research, church members admitted that they were not the only sinners within their congregations. They argued that society tends to overlook other forms of sin, considering them normal, while homosexuality receives disproportionate attention.
Okyere, now a respected resource person at public Lectures on immorality, also disclosed that homosexuals in the Ashanti and Brong Ahafo regions organize wedding ceremonies, referring to them as parties in their jargon. He warned that unless Ghanaian society confronts this issue head-on and acknowledges its prevalence, the problem may continue to grow and gain legitimacy.
The researcher attributed the prevalence of this immoral act to factors such as people’s fascination with pornographic content, poverty, and inadequate parental control.
