Posted by: Kyeyune Andrew Jonathan in Uganda news March 24, 2023

Schools in Wakiso District are being targeted by thugs who steal money, property and leave destruction in their wake. The thugs made their getaway with shs195 million from 8 of the institutions they robbed and also stole other valuables.

The valuables included computers and television screens.

In one of the institutions which happened to be a Muslim school, they stripped the cctv camera control panel. According to the detectives, the thugs did this to destroy audiovisual files in which their faces were probably seen.

The schools that lost the most amount of money were Kyadondo Secondary School which lost shs110 million where a guard lost his life.

Kasawo Secondary School lost Shs63 million and three watchmen sustained serious injuries. The latest attack happened at Nsenjere Junior Seminary in Muduma sub-county, Mpigi district in the wee-hours of Monday morning.

The police has warned schools to be vigilant and alert them of any suspicious individuals on school premises at awkward hours.

In a similar story, robbers were last month reported to break into Kasozi Catholic Parish Church. They also stole property worth millions of shillings, including radio speakers, and amplifiers among other things.

Following the Nswanjere attack, Archbishop Paul Ssemogerere declared a three-day prayer period as an act of reparation.
