Tamale School of Hygiene Sex Scandal: Tutor’s woes deepens as former victim speaks

It does not seem that the woes of Solomon Ossom Asare alias King Solomon, a tutor at the Tamale School of Hygiene will be over anytime soon.
Although authorities of the school are yet to take a disciplinary action against him for admitting to pestering a first year female student to have a romantic affair with him, a former student by name Rashida has told Savannah News that she is also a victim of King Solomon’s sexual advances at female students.
In a whatsapp chat with this reporter on Wednesday after she read the first publication about King Solomon’s assault on his student which was also published on Ghanaweb.com, Rashida said when she got admission into the school in 2016, the former proposed to her and when she turned him down she hated her throughout her stay in school.
“I wish I was there to see him. Because of this tutor I was not able to register for my final exams. Allah will surely punish him for those he messed up our lives….he was my research supervisor and because I refused going out with him….he refused to supervise me do my work”.
She continued: “This man proposed to me when I was in level hundred…..because I refused him then he started making life very tough for me on campus….until I fell in love with one guy call Ransford on campus from there he started hating Ransford from there to the extent of driving the boy out of examination hall all in the name of seeing him with a foreign material which wasn’t true according to Ransford’s course mates…..”.
This reporter asked Rashida whether she complained to authorities of the school about the refusal of King Solomon to sign her work and this was her response: “Nope because I was afraid…he was the type that can turn issues on you…for you to be blamed for.”
It’s almost two weeks since King Solomon assaulted one Portia who turned down a romantic proposal from him. Portia did not like the idea of going out with her tutor and decided that she could not accept his proposal, that is according to one of our multiple sources in the school.
On the night of Saturday May 4, 2019, Portia went to the roadside near the school to buy mobile airtime and while on her way back to her dormitory, King Solomon appeared from nowhere calling her to stop for a minute chat.
According to our source who wants to remain anonymous, King Solomon verbally assaulted Portia by calling her a foolish and unwise girl who has been going around telling people on campus that he has proposed to her.
Dumbfounded by the sudden change of attitude by her tutor towards her, she kept quiet but he aggressively held her by the neck and kept insulting the visibly shaken poor lady.
He eventually left Portia but not without telling her “you’ll see”, a statement she found to be life-threatening and decided to call her parents and inform them about what happened.
Some female students who earlier spoke to Savannah News, called for widespread investigations by government through the Ministry of Sanitation into the management of the school, recommending specifically the transfer of some particular tutors whom they labeled “notorious womanisers”.
According to the students who want to remain anonymous, many female students are in a fixed as they cannot report tutors who make sexual advances at them because they are afraid they will be deliberately failed in their exam.
“Honestly speaking, I wish the school was 60 or 80 percent female. Very few of the male tutors are good. The rest makes studying in this school very traumatizing. There’s a group of tutors including Mr. Solomon who are engaged in this devilish act. When you offend one, you offend the whole group.
“I have heard one of our tutor’s, madam Huzeima once called all the female students when she was housemistress to advise them against any form of sexual harassment. But some of the students went behind her and told the tutors they were dating. I wasn’t here but when I gained admission into the school I heard it from our seniors. So you see, we the students we’re also our own enemies”, one of the students disclosed.
A tutor also added: “My brother, you see this school, only three people are running it. It’s as if the school is theirs. The Minister and the Chief Director at the Ministry of Sanitation (which is responsible for managing all three Schools of Hygiene in the country) must put their feet on the ground and do something. Some of us when we talk, they sideline us in anything they do. So we have kept quiet waiting for this kind of investigation to trigger more investigations from the top, I’m talking about the ministry level, into the school”.
Meanwhile, at the time of filing this report, King Solomon according to Savannah News’ source in the school on Wednesday went to one of the classes to apologise to students to forgiven him if he had offended any of them in anyway.
The source also said “he has been crying like a baby” ever since the first story about him assaulting Portia for rejecting his proposal was published by Savannah News and other online news portals.
