Reverend Bettey has told Pulse.com.gh that pictures on social media about the students practising occultism were those of "final year students who completed last two years."

The Ghana Education Service (GES) has asked the general public to ignore media reports that some students of the Wesley Girls Senior High School in Cape Coast, have been caught by school authorities practicing occultism.

Speaking to Pulse.com.gh, the Public Relations Officer of the GES, Reverend Jonathan Bettey explained that authorities of the school caught the students with a book against the school's Christian beliefs titled “The Ministry of Angels and how to activate them.”

"...When the authorities laid hands on those books, they ransacked the chop-boxes of the children, then gathered all those books. So they have collected the books they saw from the children," he said.

Reverend Betty added that pictures on social media about the students practising occultism were those of "final year students who completed last two years."

There were earlier reports this week of some 22 students from the Wesley Girls Senior High School in Cape Coast being allegedly caught practicing occultism.

Reports indicated that the said students were nabbed during a ceremony to induct new entrants into the group.
