Following the triumphant declaration of the court in favour of the 2 Rastafarians who were denied admission to Achimota Secondary School, Ghanaians have taken to social media to pour their takes on the development.
The two Rastafarian students who sued the Achimota school for refusing to admit them, Oheneba Nkrabea and Tyrone Marhguy have won the case against the school.
They were denied admission into Achimota school until they cut off their dreadlocks but they filed a suit against the school.
The court in its ruling on Monday, May 31 ordered Achimota School to admit them.
SC Nyarko said in a tweet “This is great news for diversity, equity and inclusion in our high schools in Ghana. Great day for every DEI activist in Ghana.”
Komla Adom said “Court orders Achimota to admit rasta students initially denied admission into the school. A win for human rights; a win for common sense.”
