Despite making several attempts to alert the senior housemaster, the student was eventually taken to the Tamale Teaching Hospital for medical attention, where he tragically passed away.
Mr. Baffoe reported the senior housemaster to the police for negligence, as the student had died before reaching the hospital. The Northern Regional Police Command is now investigating the matter.
