“Health workers have managed the situation and have ruled out poisoning but rather attributed the problem to a food-borne illness. 11 students are in the nearby health centre, six at Mukono Church of Uganda Hospital while others are at Nagalama Hospital. The day scholars have been asked to stay home as the situation gets sorted.
The Neighbors of the school attribute the situation to the many fights between the school and it’s immediate neighbors over land and they closely suspect them for the heartless act carried out on the innocent souls. The closest to this incident was last seen in Mubende district where 43 students from Kitenga Secondary School were hospitalized over alleged poisoning.
