18 school buses transporting children from educational trips were intercepted last night at the Njeru Checkpoint.
In line with @Educ_SportsUg's directive suspending school trips & prohibiting night travel for schools already on trips, the buses were escorted to a safe parking area where they remained until morning.
They will be escorted by @PoliceUg to their respective destinations. Schools already on trips are reminded not to travel at night. Instead, they should report to the nearest Police station for guidance & where necessary a Police escort.
All return journeys must be undertaken between 6:00 a.m. & 6:00 p.m.
Together we can safeguard the lives of our children. #RoadSafetyUG #SafeSchoolTransport
