Ibrahim Mahama Sponsors UK Medical Treatment for Suzzy Pinamang, SHS Student Shot in the Eye
Renowned Ghanaian philanthropist and businessman, Mr. Ibrahim Mahama, has stepped in to support Suzzy Pinamang, a young student urgently needing specialized medical care following a traumatic eye injury.
Suzzy, a student of Bantama SDA Senior High School, sustained a severe eye injury resulting in blindness after an accidental shooting incident involving a classmate. The unfortunate event occurred during a mathematics lesson on Friday, April 4, 2025, when a male student reportedly brought a firearm to school. While displaying the weapon to peers, it discharged unintentionally, striking Suzzy in the face.
In response to her critical condition, Mr. Mahama has made arrangements for Suzzy to be flown to the United Kingdom for emergency treatment. This follows a medical evaluation conducted at Dr. Agarwal’s Eye Hospital in Accra on Monday, May 5, 2025.
Though the full medical details of her condition remain confidential, the decision to seek treatment abroad highlights the urgency and severity of the situation.
A source close to Mr. Mahama confirmed that he has pledged to cover the entire cost of Suzzy’s treatment—both locally and internationally—including diagnostics, surgery, post-operative care, and travel expenses.
Suzzy’s case is believed to have reached Mr. Mahama through social media or local advocacy efforts. His timely intervention has been widely commended, reaffirming his reputation for swift humanitarian action and unwavering commitment to supporting vulnerable individuals.
The assistance provides a renewed sense of hope for Suzzy and her family as she prepares to undergo a life-changing procedure abroad.
The tragic incident has since reignited public debate on school safety, the dangers of illegal firearm possession among students, and the pressing need for enhanced security measures within educational institutions.
