The management of Accra Academy has launched an urgent investigation into a shocking case of student violence after a viral video exposed an assault involving a cutlass-wielding student attacking his schoolmates.
According to a statement from school authorities, the incident occurred on January 17, 2025, but was only brought to their attention after the video gained widespread attention on social media.
The school swiftly identified all students involved, handing over the main perpetrator to the police for interrogation. The other accused students, who are all day students, have been asked to stay away from school pending further investigations.

The alleged attackers have been identified as:
- Shadad Aliu (also known as Kester)
- Haleem Jibril (Chopper)
- Ahmed Dauda (Foreigner)

All four are final-year students.
The victims, all first-year students, have been named as:
- Samuel Ussher
- Kingsford Quayson

Initial investigations indicate that the machete used in the assault was not from the school premises but brought from home by the perpetrators.
The school’s disciplinary committee has taken over the matter, and authorities assure parents that strict action will be taken to prevent such incidents from happening again.
Accra Academy management emphasized that they take bullying and violence very seriously and will enforce severe disciplinary measures to maintain student safety.
