The Quiz Mistress for the 2017 National Science and Maths Quiz (NSMQ 2017) Dr Elsie Effah Kaufmann had the shock of her life after the finals of the contest when her handbag was stolen.

The bewildered senior lecturer and head of the Biomedical Engineering Department  of the University of Ghana, Legon lost her valuables moments when supporters of the winners Prempeh College mounted the stage to receive their prize.

Dr Kaufmann told the media her bag contains her valuables such as cash, mobile phone, ID Cards and car and home keys.

At the time of filing the report her bag had still not been found.

Winners

Prempeh College in the Ashanti region were crowned winners of the 2017 edition of the National Science and Maths Quiz.
