Father of Tyron Iras Marghuy, one of the Rastafarian students whose denial of admission at Achimota School sparked a national debate, has accused his son of assaulting him.

Mr Tereo Marghuy claims Tyron has always been very disobedient even before the infamous admission saga made the family popular. But despite all the sacrifices he made to secure his admission to the school through the courts, Tyron has not changed towards him.

Accusing the son of attacking him in a video he posted on social media, he said Tyron had an argument with his sister and as he tried to intervene, his young son slashed his hand.

In the video sighted by GHPage on social media, the father showed the injured hand with blood and deep cuts which he claims to have been inflicted on him by Tyron.

“This is what Tyron has done to my hands, he spoilt his sister’s tablet and they were supposed to take it to the repairer this morning,” he lamented.

“The sister came to tell me they were taking the laptop to the repairer…, I went to see them in the room and she said Tyron is not ready. Long story short, they had argument and so I went back there to ask him why, and he just unplugged the laptop and started to walk over me and he’s been doing this all these years, and which his mother tolerates,” Tereo alleged.

“This is the third time something like this is happening because he walked over me and I rushed at him, I wanted to slap him for doing that, he does it every time and he gripped my hand, so hard, I don’t know if he had something or whatever with him, and this is what he has done,” he added.

Who are the Marghuy’s?

In March 2021, the Marghuy Rastafarian family garnered media attention after they, together with another Rastafarian student Oheneba Kwaku Nkrabea, sued Achimota School for denying their sons admission because of their dreadlocks.

The school indicated that Tyron and Oheneba would only be enrolled on the condition that they shave their dreadlocks in accordance with the School’s academic regulations.

In defiance of this directive, the families of the students dragged the school to court citing discrimination and infringement on their fundamental human rights to education under the 1992 constitution.

After two months of a legal tussle, the Human Rights Division of the High Court presided over by Justice Gifty Agyei Addo ruled that the fundamental human rights of the two students cannot be limited by the rules in question.

The Court ordered Achimota School to admit the two Rastafarian students it denied enrollment.

The ruling was described as a record victory in the history of the country.
