Bolgatanga Technical University denies blocking Prof. Samuel Alnaa from office

Management of Bolgatanga Technical University (BTU) has officially refuted media reports alleging that Professor Samuel E. Alnaa and two other individuals were barred from accessing their offices. In a statement released on October 22, 2026, the university administration described the claims as false and sought to clarify the current legal and administrative status surrounding the staff members.

The controversy stems from a recent court ruling that was delivered in favor of Professor Alnaa and his two colleagues. While the specific nature of the original legal dispute was not detailed in the university’s statement, the administration confirmed that it has initiated an appeal against the court's decision. To prevent the immediate enforcement of the judgment while the appeal is pending, the university has also filed a formal motion for a stay of execution.

The university management emphasized that it remains committed to following the rule of law and the formal judicial process. They urged the affected individuals to seek any necessary clarifications through the proper legal channels rather than through the media. Furthermore, the institution called on news outlets and the general public to verify information with the university’s communications department before publication to avoid the spread of misinformation.

As the legal proceedings continue, the university maintains that its actions are guided by institutional regulations and the ongoing judicial review. The resolution of this dispute will likely depend on the outcome of the appeal and the court’s decision regarding the stay of execution. For now, the university insists that the narrative of physical barring or illegal exclusion from campus offices is inaccurate and does not reflect the reality of the situation.
