There was calm, solemn and sober atmosphere at the T.I Ahamdiyya International School at Agboba, a suburb of Accra, when the Ghana News Agency (GNA) visited the school on Monday.
When the GNA got to the school at 08:45 am, it was noticed that both teachers and students were present with classes in session. Authorities of the school would not speak to the media on the death of the Ameer Dr Wahab A. Adam at the Korle Bu Teaching Hospital in Accra after a protracted illness.
