Police in Busoga East are hunting for Godfrey Musasizi, the headteacher of Bugobi Modern Secondary School, located in Bugobi town council of Namutumba district, over failure to register senior four students for UCE exams.
The police report indicates that Bugobi Modern SS does not have a center number, which prompted Musasizi to instruct candidates to pay a fee of 250,000 Shillings each, which was meant to secure their registration from a neighboring government school.
However, only three students were registered at Nkono Secondary school, in Ivukula sub-county, Namutumba district, whereas 14 others were shocked to be denied entry to the examination room on Monday morning.
One of the students says that Musasizi assured them that he had concluded efforts of registering the senior four candidates at Nkono SS and he instructed them to buy school uniforms of the same school.
Mohammed Isiiko the district education officer of Namutumba says that available information indicates that Musasizi had submitted the names of all 17 candidates for registration, but paid for only three students.
When consulted about the anomaly, Musasizi switched off his known phone numbers and they have resolved to hand the matter over to police for further investigations.
The Busoga East police spokesperson Diana Nandawula says that inquiries are ongoing and when arrested, the suspect will be charged with obtaining money through false pretense.
