The Ghana Education Service (GES) has denied media reports that some students of the Wesley Girls Senior High School in Cape Coast, have been caught by school authorities practicing occultism.
This follows a meeting held by the Ghana Education Service on Tuesday in Accra with the headmistress of the school after news broke.

According to Rev Bettey, the book titled “The Ministry of Angels and how to activate them” were retrieved from the students and they were warned against the use of such material.
“There is no occultic group functioning in the school. The said book was in circulation in the school according to the headmistress. When she was notified, she rallied round all the students in the school and emptied their luggage and gathered all the books.”
“She is saying that it was a senior student together with some people in other schools in the town that were patronizing the book. So when they were caught, the children were warned against the use of those things and all the books that were found were collected from the students,” he added.
Background:
22 students from the Wesley Girls Senior High School in Cape Coast were allegedly caught practicing occultism.
They were reportedly nabbed during a ceremony to induct new entrants into the group. The report stated that the students caught were mostly first and second year students.
