JHS 3 student has been summoned for allegedly farting at Amankrado’s house in Onomabo in the Eastern Region of Ghana.
This unfortunate incident happened near the premises of the town’s Amankrado’s house. According to reports from Accra-based UTV, the Mankrado wasted no time in summoning the Abusuapanyin, Kwaku Aye, to address this audacious transgression. The demand on the table? A GH₵50 fine levied against the 18-year-old culprit along with the forfeiture of a sheep as recompense.
Despite earnest entreaties from the boy’s mother, beseeching for clemency and understanding, the Mankrado remains resolute in his pursuit of justice. Mr. Aye, however, deemed the matter frivolous and promptly dismissed it, viewing it as lacking any substantive merit.
Undeterred by this setback, the aggrieved Mankrado escalated tensions further by engaging in a confrontational exchange with the Abusuapanyin, adding a dramatic flair to an already tense situation.
Speculation runs rife among the community’s residents, with whispers suggesting that this incident may have provided the perfect pretext for reigniting dormant animosities, thus resurfacing long-standing feuds.

Disrespect towards elders by school pupils in Ghana can stem from changing social dynamics, peer influence, and the absence of positive role models. Modernization and urbanization may alter traditional values, while peer pressure within schools can encourage disrespectful behavior. Additionally, the lack of authoritative figures or positive examples may contribute to this issue.
