The Tamale Circuit Court presided over by His Lordship Alexander Oware, has sentenced 32-year-old Social Studies teacher Natogmah Yamousa Otabil to 7 years imprisonment with hard labour for sodomizing 18 pupils of the Kulpi R/C Junior High School.
In September 2021, police in Salaga arrested Yamousa Otabil following a report by the East Gonja Municipal Education Director over some sodomy allegations.
The accused earlier pleaded guilty to all the charges put on him by police.
His defense lawyer prayed the court for a psychiatric assessment of his client which the court granted.
Reports of the first examination conducted at Pantang Hospital was rejected by the presiding judge which resulted in a second examination at the Tamale Teaching hospital.
