Suzzy Pinamang, a student at Adventist Senior High School in Bantama, Ashanti Region, has made an emotional appeal to prominent philanthropists Kennedy Agyapong and Ibrahim Mahama for support following a tragic shooting incident that left her visually impaired.
The incident occurred on Friday, April 4th, during school break time.
According to reports, Bernard Amoabeng, a Form Two student, brought a firearm to school. Witnesses recount that an argument ensued among students about whether the weapon was functional.
In what appears to have been a reckless demonstration, Amoabeng allegedly discharged the firearm, injuring two students.
