The headmaster of Dzodze-Penyi Senior High School,Mr. Joshua Yao Vidzro, is under investigation following allegations that he impregnated a third year student and defiled a 14 years old first year student.
A final year student whose name is withheld, has been confirmed pregnant by St Anthony Hospital in Dzodze. She alleged that the headmaster had sexual intercourse with her against her will.

The senior Headmistress, Madam Eva kueliho, confirmed the report to Fafaa 100.3 Fm and said the school has begun internal investigations.
In an interview, the headmaster denied the allegations, describing them as attempts to tarnish his image. He added that he is willing to undergo a DNA test if required.

Mr. Vidzro, swore by the ancestral stool god of “Togbi Satsike” that he did not impregnate the student.
