David Ogwang, 23, faced the wrath of an angry mob who beat him into a coma for allegedly spending a night with a 16- year- old primary seven- pupil.
The police fortunately came to his rescue and rushed him to hospital where he is now receiving treatment under the police watch.
It’s alleged that Ogwang on Tuesday went and picked the minor from her recognized residential home in Aloet Akum Cell A. He then brought her to the teachers’ quarters.
This is where he allegedly had canal knowledge with her, well knowing she is a minor. During the early hours of Wednesday, he took her back home.
However, her parents had already realized that their daughter had gone missing.
Oscar Gregg Ageca, the East Kyoga Regional Police Spokesman says that parents interrogated her on where she spent the night. The interrogation made her reveal the relationship she had with her teacher.
This prompted residents to storm the teacher’s quarters where they beat Ogwang into coma.
Ageca says that the Officers rescued and detained Ogwang at Opuyo Police Station. This is before transferring him to Soroti East Division Station.
He added that statements from the suspect and witnesses were obtained. Additionally, both the suspect and the victim underwent medical examination before he is produced to court.
One witness revealed that they have been monitoring the moves of the teacher ever since they heard about the affair. Apparently, the teacher took advantage of the rainy night to sneak undetected into the girl’s home and took her.
“He was lucky that it was very cold that most people entered their bedrooms early. It would have been his last day that night had we found him with the girl,” Bosco Okello, a resident within Aloet Akum Cell A says.

![[dropcap]A[/dropcap] section of women in Bugongo parish and Nawangaiza parish in Nawandala Sub County, Iganga District have decried the near-impossible terms set for them to access GROW funds. They have now petitioned their woman member of parliament for Iganga Hon. Kauma Sauda Alibaawo to ask the government for revised terms and conditions. This is to enable them to benefit from the program. The disgruntled women accuse the implementers of the program of charging the money. They are also asking for their land titles and land agreements. They said that such properties are governed by their husbands. These, therefore want the government through their woman MP to intervene and revise the requirements for one to benefit. The women were on Wednesday at Namabwere primary school in Nawandala Sub County. They had gathered in their respective groups to receive over 300 chickens from Hon Alibaawo in her campaign to improve the livelihood of women in Iganga district. Each group was given 50 chicken as start-up capital in their journey to prosperity. Read what some leaders said; Ms Naigambi Lydia from Nawandala Trading Centre says, “They solicited money from us through opening bank accounts and depositing Shs80,000. They also asked for land titles and land agreements from us yet we don’t have such things. I was informed that I needed to have a business with a capital of Shs4m yet my capital was very small.” The chairperson Kisoboka Saving Group in Nawandala Ms. Nakagolo Faith said they were not able to join the program. This is given the many conditions attached. She also asked their woman MP to raise their concerns to the relevant offices. The MP condemned the mode of implementation of the program. She cited that it has turned to benefit the well-off class of women other than the intended group. She further asked the government to intervene saying the current strings attached to the programme are very tight to accommodate a common woman. GROW project is a Government of Uganda initiative that arose out of the need to respond to the needs of women entrepreneurs. This is especially those who want to grow their businesses, sustain their self-employment and create more jobs.
