A Form 2 student has been arrested after allegedly attempting to hack deputy principal with a panga at Mokwerero Secondary School in Kitutu Masaba.
According to a police report seen by Nai Haps, the School Principal reportedly called the area Assistant Chief, reporting that a student had attempted to kill the school’s deputy principal.
The report indicated that the 18-year-old student had stashed the panga inside his school bag.
