A Ghanaian international student pursuing an MBA at York St John University in the United Kingdom has publicly alleged severe bullying, humiliation, harassment and related incidents since arriving in the UK.
In a public statement shared on LinkedIn, Eunice Taveng said her initial concerns led her to believe she was experiencing racism. Subsequent incidents involving her accommodation, personal belongings and online accounts, she said, heightened her fears.

According to Taveng, the insoles of her shoes were removed and replaced with ones she did not recognise. The contents of one of her perfume bottles appeared to have been substituted with a substance that had a different smell. She also reported finding items on her bed that she had not placed there and later experiencing severe itching after contact with the bed.

Taveng further raised concerns about what she believes may have been unauthorised access to her Google account, unusual activity involving Google Maps, and repeated situations in which she felt she was being followed or stalked.
She stated that she believes some of the incidents involving her belongings may be connected to rituals and spells. She acknowledged that speaking publicly about such beliefs could lead some people to question her mental health rather than investigate the reported incidents.
“I believe there are deliberate attempts to portray me to the public as ‘mad’ or mentally ill because I have recognised and spoken about what I believe is happening,” Taveng said. She alleged that such attempts were intended to divert attention from the issues she had reported and to discourage examination of the evidence or calls for an investigation.
Taveng said she had previously reported her concerns to the police and to York St John University. The university assisted with some matters, she noted, but explained that there were limits to what it had the authority to address. She stated that she has evidence, dates and information concerning people she believes may be involved and is prepared to provide these privately to the relevant authorities.
The student said the situation had become increasingly severe and that she was concerned about her safety. “If anything further happens to me, I ask that my previous reports and evidence be reviewed as part of any investigation,” she said.
Taveng is calling on the relevant authorities and appropriate organisations to investigate the incidents she has reported, examine the available evidence, establish the facts and assist her.
