The Minister for Foreign Affairs, Samuel Okudzeto Ablakwa, has visited Suzy Adwoa Pinamang, the Adventist Senior High School student who tragically lost her eyesight after being shot in the face by a fellow student.

Suzy, a student at Adventist SHS in Bantama, Ashanti Region, sustained the life-altering injury on Friday, April 4, during break time.

According to reports, Bernard Amoabeng, a Form Two student, brought a firearm to school.

A group of students reportedly began debating whether the weapon was real and capable of firing.

In an attempt to demonstrate its functionality, Amoabeng allegedly discharged the weapon, injuring Suzy and another student.
