Police in Sembabule District are hunting for a parent who allegedly attacked and beat up a school head teacher after he reportedly sent his children home to collect birth certificate fees.
The incident occurred at Kirembe Muslim Primary School Mateete in Sembabule District yesterday when Jamil Mwanje stormed the school and reportedly pounced on the head teacher, Jamil Magezi inside his office, for sending his three children home to collect the fees for processing their birth certificates.
According to one of the teachers at school who preferred anonymity to speak freely about the incident, they were busy conducting lessons when they heard the head teacher making an alarm inside his office.
The female teacher said they ran to his rescue only to find Mwanje engaged in a physical fight with the head teacher, accusing him of sending his children back home to collect fees for processing birth certificates.
The teacher said Mr Mwanje escaped immediately after the incident.
Godfrey Tumwekase, the chairperson Mateete Sub County condemned the incident, saying it was unnecessary to physically attack the head teacher, adding that Mwanje’s attack was uncalled for.
Southern Regional Police Spokesperson, Muhammad Nsubuga confirmed the incident, saying Magezi has already recorded a statement with police and investigations into the case have started.
