Adventist SHS student shot in eye appeals to Ken Agyapong, Ibrahim Mahama for help

Suzzy Pinaman, a second-year student at the Adventist Senior High School in the Ashanti Region, who was shot in the eye by a fellow classmate, has made a passionate appeal to the former Member of Parliament for Assin Central, Kennedy Agyapong; and businessman, Ibrahim Mahama, for their assistance.

In a video sighted by GhanaWeb, Suzzy, who is currently at home suffering from eye pains and unable to attend school due to her condition, explained that the residual fragments from the bullet fired into her eye has made it impossible for her to sleep or even close her eyes.

According to her, the situation has left her mother helpless, as they have received no assistance whatsoever.

“Hon Kennedy Agyapong and Ibrahim Mahama, I am pleading with you to hear my cry and come to my aid. I have no one. There are residual bullet fragments in my eyes and due to that I can’t sleep. I’m pleading with you to come and help me so my eyes can be treated and restored. All my mates are in school learning but I’m home. I’m always thinking about my situation. My mother is helpless and has no one to help her. Please help me get my eyes back,” she is heard appealing in the video.

Suzzy Adwoa Pinamang went blind after being shot in the face by a classmate during school hours.

The incident reportedly happened on Friday, April 4, 2025, during break time, when Bernard Amoabeng, a Form Two student, allegedly brought a firearm to school.

The gun became the subject of a heated debate among a group of students, some of whom questioned whether it was real or not.

In an attempt to prove a point, Amoabeng allegedly pulled the trigger, injuring two students in the process.

Meanwhile, the suspect, a 16-year-old second year student, has been remanded into police custody following his arrest.
