A second-year student of the Adventist Senior High School at Bantama in the Ashanti Region, Suzie Adwoa Pinamang, has gone blind after allegedly being shot in the face by a classmate during school hours.
Narrating her ordeal in an interview on De God Son TV on Wednesday, April 9, 2025, she said she did not pay attention to her friend when she was holding the gun.
“My classmate was holding the gun in class, but I didn’t pay attention to it. During break time, I had put my head on my desk. He was then having a conversation with other classmates.
“I briefly raised the head and then the gun went off. I was bleeding profusely at the time, so, I covered my face with my hands and dashed out to seek help,” she narrated.
Suzzy Pinamang explained that she was later referred to the Komfo Anokye Teaching Hospital (KATH) where she underwent emergency surgery to remove the bullets.
“I was later rushed to the SDA Hospital at Bantama and subsequently referred to the KATH where I had to undergo a surgery. I was there with my house mistress, the PTA chairman and my parents. I have lost my sight, I am devastated by what has happened”, she added.
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.
