“We entreat the public and media to desist from calculating false information on print and all social media platforms. As we cherish her memory and look to get to the bottom of this,” the headmaster of the school said in a statement.
On Monday, May 17, 2021, at 7:30 pm, the body of 14-year-old Pinaman was found hanging in the dining hall on the school’s premises. She was a final-year student who was preparing for the upcoming Basic Education Certificate Examination ( BECE).
