One of Ghana’s premier all girls high school, Wesley Girls is facing a lawsuit over allegations of denying Muslim students the right to practice their religion.

The school has been accused of systematically suppressing Muslim students by restricting their ability to observe Islamic practices.

The plaintiff, Sahfic Osman,  is requesting the court to declare that the school’s policy prohibiting the practice of Islam among Muslim students violates the 1992 Constitution.

The lawsuit also challenged the school’s mandatory religious practices, claiming they contradict constitutional provisions.

Additionally, the plaintiff argued that these restrictions infringe on the welfare and rights of Muslim students, as outlined under international human rights principles recognized by the constitution.

The lawsuit seeks an order for the Ghana Education Service to establish constitutionally compliant guidelines for regulating religious practices in all public schools across the country.

Wesley Girls was in the news some years back for refusing a to allow a Muslim student to fast during Ramadan. The incident sparked outrage with Muslim caucus in parliament and the nation’s Muslim community as a whole.
