In response to the incident, the victim has been suspended, and the student who recorded the video, as well as other witnesses who failed to report it, will also face varying degrees of sanctions. The housemaster and his deputy will be immediately suspended as well, pending the outcome of the investigation by the GES.

Furthermore, the Ghana Education Service had already ordered the suspension of the student involved in the assault and suggested involving the police due to the nature of the assault.

The school's actions are an interim measure, and the final decisions will be made by the school's Board of Governors and the Ghana Education Service.
