@SolomonSerwanjj@PoliceUg Jane’s case is one of the 94 cases registered by the police in 2018. Her parents Simon Kakeeto and Harriet Mayende say they were informed about their daughter’s ordeal by their son. They immediately called the HM and asked that their daughter be released. #NBSInvestigates
@SolomonSerwanjj@PoliceUg Lutwama then says that basing on the statements that he collected from the different students, he suspects that "Jane" had had a history with Dickson Lwasampijja. He however regrets the incident that happened at his school. #NBSInvestigates#NBSUpdates
@SolomonSerwanjj@PoliceUg Mr. Lutwama denied that the man who allegedly defiled Jane was not his staff member. Lutwama’s answer is not convincing enough so @SolomonSerwanjj probes further. He asks him why there was no staff member at the school that night of the incident. #NBSInvestigates#NBSUpdates
@SolomonSerwanjj@PoliceUg@SolomonSerwanjj travelled to Gomba to get to the root of this story. How could a school coach defile "Jane" on the school premises? Where were the school heads while the defilement happened? He meets up with the HM Benedict Lutwama for some answers. #NBSInvestigates#NBSUpdates
@SolomonSerwanjj@PoliceUg "Jane" now lives in Kampala with her grandmother. She says that her parents relocated her there because of death threats that they had received in the village about her life. Her performance in school has greatly deteriorated because of the trauma. #NBSInvestigates
