Dancehall Artiste, Stonebwoy has promised to gift tickets to his BHIM concerts to Tyrone Marhguy, the Rastafarian Achimota Student whose admission caused a national stir.
This comes after it was reported that Tyrone aced his West African Senior High School Certificate Examination (WASSCE).
Commenting under the post of Tyrone’s results, Stonebwoy on Tuesday, December 19, praised the young man for continuing to beat expectations and for proving others wrong about what Rastafarianism is about.
He further promised to give Tyrone 10 VIP tickets so he could enjoy the concerts with friends and family.
“Congratulations – This continues to defy the odds that all rastas are up to no good…10 VIP tickets for you and friends – let’s celebrate on Friday at the Stadium [sic],” his comment read.
The WASSCE results slip of the young boy shared on social media showed that he scored 8As.
This drew praise from many people who believe the court made a good decision allowing Achimota School to admit Tyrone.
In June 2021, two Rastafarian students, Tyrone Iras Marhguy and Oheneba Kwaku Nkrabea dragged the Achimota School Board of Governors, the Minister of Education, Ghana Education Service, and the Attorney General to court for refusing to enroll them with the explanation that they had to shave their dreadlocks in accordance with the school’s regulations.
The court presided over by Justice Gifty Agyei Addo, ruled that the fundamental human rights of the two students cannot be limited by the rules in question.
Justice Agyei argued that she doesn’t believe Achimota School and proponents, including GES and the Attorney General’s Department, have made a compelling argument as to why those two students should not be admitted, especially given their rights to education as well as their rights to express their religious freedom.
