According to him, the building was just a wooden structure, which was put up by the teachers and was in agreement with the PTA and entire management of the school.

” The fire started yesterday but fortunately enough there were some church members around who helped quench it, we came to school early this morning only to  notice that everything has been burn including over hundred dual desks, now we have no option than to let the children sit under the trees until something is done”.

The Nkwanta South municipal educational Director, Mr. Stephen Tsuatorfe who visited the scene expressed a great shock about how some wicked people will cause this harm to school. He therefore, assured the authorities that, he will forward the issue to the Assembly to come to their aid in a very short possible time.
