Police in Kyotera District are hunting for three private security guards who have been working at St. Sebastian Bethlehem Secondary School in Nabigasa Sub County for allegedly robbing over Shs20m from the school head teacher.
According to the victim, Dennis Nkalubo, after realizing that some students had paid school fees on Sunday when they reported, the guards surrounded his car and asked him to surrender all the money.
Nkalubo said the guards put him at gunpoint and ordered him to surrender to them the money he collected from the students if he is to be set free.
Nkalubo added that he told the guards that the money was with the Director of Studies, Ms Juliet Nalukeera where they quickly walked to Ms Nalukeera’s office and ordered her to give them the money.
He said after accessing the money in the bag, they put both of them in his car and drove to a distance of over two kilometers before stabbing Ms Nalukeera and later ran away with over Shs20m.
Nkalubo said he later made telephone calls to Police and friends who rushed them to a nearby clinic to get first aid.
Hassan Hiwumbire, the Kyotera District Police Commander, told our reporter that detectives have started the hunt for the suspects.
Hiwumbire however blamed the school administration for allowing school fees payments in cash instead of asking parents to directly pay it in the bank.
