The High Court’s Human Rights Division is set to hear another petition seeking an interlocutory injunction in the Achimota School Admissions saga today.
Lawyers representing Tyrone Marhguy, who was also refused entry due to his dreadlocks, would argue the lawsuit.
Tyrone Marhguy, through his father Tereo Kwame Marhguy, also filed a lawsuit on March 31 alleging human rights abuses as a result of Achimota School’s failure to admit him due to his hairstyle.
His counsel then filed an interlocutory injunction application, requesting that the court order the school to admit him whilst the lawsuit is being considered, prohibit the school from messing with his right to education, and from discrimination against him.
As a result, the Court is set to hear and decide on this case today.

On Monday, the Human Rights Court 1 Division of the High Court rejected an appeal for a mandatory injunction to compel the Achimota School to accept Oheneba Nkrabea, a Rastafarian, awaiting the outcome of the substantive case in which he was refused entry because of his dreadlocks.
Meanwhile, lawyers for Oheneba Kwame Nkrabea, the other Rastafarian boy at the center of the dispute, insist they are pleased with the Court’s reasons for dismissing their appeal for a mandatory injunction against Achimota, as well as the Court’s intention to deal with the case quickly.
“It shows you that this judge is asking the entire universe that there is something urgent to look at and has asked for us to come back in 7 days,” Ghanamanti Tettey Wayoe, a member of their legal team, said.
