Ten students of Kanginima Seed Secondary School in Butebo District are being held for staging a strike.

 


The students were protesting the arrest of a teacher and a night guard in relation to the theft of computers at the school.

 

The night guard and the teacher identified as Kamusyo Abdul both attached to Kanginima Seed Secondary School were picked up by police to aid investigations into the theft of computers from the laboratory. The computers are estimated at a cost of 80 million shillings.
