Islamic SHS Student Dies After Leaving Chilling Message of Innocence
Fresh accounts from the Islamic Senior High School in Kumasi suggest that final-year Business student, Samiru Abass, left a chilling declaration of innocence moments before tragically ending his life on Tuesday, November 18, 2025. Eyewitnesses say Abass proclaimed that he had been falsely accused and invoked divine judgment on those who implicated him, insisting that “his accusers will face God.”
The 19-year-old student’s death has left the school community in deep shock, with new details pointing to a disciplinary case that had weighed heavily on him prior to the incident. According to sources, Abass had been accused of kissing and fondling a female student in a classroom—a claim reportedly made by a teacher who confronted the two and seized Abass’ school shirt as evidence. The case was immediately forwarded to the school’s disciplinary committee for action.
Abass, after appearing before the committee, was instructed to return to the teacher to collect his confiscated shirt. It was during this moment, witnesses say, that the visibly distressed student climbed to the upper floor of one of the school blocks and jumped to his death, dying instantly upon impact.
His final message, rejecting the allegations and calling on God to judge his accusers, has sparked widespread debate among students and teachers, many of whom are questioning the handling of the matter. The new revelations also contradict earlier reports that suggested Abass had been contemplating suicide for unknown reasons.
The entire school has been thrown into mourning, with some students calling for improved counselling and psychological support services to help prevent similar tragedies.
Authorities are yet to make an official statement as investigations into the incident continue.
