Ghanaians have reacted to the video of Teachers looking on as KNUST SHS student dies of suspected Coronavirus complications.
A student of the Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology(KNUST) Senior High School(SHS) was reportedly left to die of suspected Coronavirus complications with no efforts from teachers to help save his life.
Mynewsgh.com gathered that the student who is an ulcer patient complained of stomach ache and was rushed to the Headmistress’ office but the issue was referred to the Senior HouseMaster.
However, the students were rather punished by giving them a plot of land to weed by the authorities for not adhering to the COVID-19 safety protocol of wearing nose masks.
In the course of weeding, the student’s situation kept deteriorating so the students placed a call to his parents who got to the campus of the school very late to pick their son but he died upon arrival at the hospital.
In a viral video sighted by Celebrities Buzz, the deceased student could be seen being held up by his colleagues as he was struggling for his life on a table that looks like the school’s dining table.
Some men who sure look like teachers could be seen standing ‘arms akimbo’ enjoying their conversations with no concern for the health of the student at all.
The issue has angered Ghanaians and they have taken to Twitter to voice out their displeasure.
Read a few reactions gathered on it below:

The KNUST SHS issue is so sad. Even if you assumed it to be corona virus must you stand there and chat unconcerned? Must you also allow fellow studients with no expertise gather around knowing very well the assumed disease is communicable? Did they even call any of the hotlines?

So KNUST SHS students held a protest and vandalised their headmistress’ car last night. Apparently one of their colleagues who has an ulcer was seriously ill but was left unattended to by the teachers over COVID fears. They didn’t even call him an ambulance. He died.

Teachers at KNUST SHS watched for this young man to die just because they suspected he had COVID.
For almost 4 hours, they left this poor boy to be tended to by his friends🤦🏾
This is so unfortunate. pic.twitter.com/lMOP7d8F23

KNUST SHS own de3 ebi the teachers who were around.
So they wanna tell us no one had a car to take the boy to the hospital.
A death from ulcer which could have been prevented.

I think it's time the Government rescind the decision to let these JHS and SHS students remain in School.
I'll rather have an ILLITERATE child than a DEAD one and I'm sure 99.99% of all parents will agree.

In fact, these Knust tutors are very wicked paa oooo.
Infact this KNUST SHS issue is very sad hearing. And these teachers are very wicked paa ooo.
Hmm, I can’t stop weeping
blame the govt not the teacher
All the time blame Gov’t, if your mum is a tutor and she falls sick and she’s neglected guess you will still blame Gov’t whether the measures he put wasn’t enough it doesn’t mean we should also be adamant…. all lives Matters with or without covid teachers are responsible for our kids and they could have just called a taxi just to come pick the kid… stop blaming Gov’t for everything being a president is like organizing a wedding no Matter how big or much food you bring someone will still complain she or he didn’t get food
Very wicked…, Hmmm may the good Lord keep her in his bosom
My formal school this is a damn sad news wicked teachers
