In 2021, Marhguy and Oheneba Nkrabea, a fellow Rastafarian student who also encountered initial rejection, made headlines and sparked a national conversation about individual rights and religious freedom.
The court ordered Achimota School to admit both Rastafarian students, stressing the protection of their fundamental human rights, following weeks of uncertainty and a legal battle that went all the way to the Human Rights Court.
After the resolution, Marhguy was able to join the school’s team and compete in the 2023 National Science and Math Quiz in addition to being admitted into Achimota School.
