Solomon is said to have returned to school on 15th February 2022 along with his parents, Bobi Wine and Barbie Kyagulanyi and they were tasked to make a fresh undertaking of obedience and compliance with school rules and regulations.
“This will serve as his last warning: should your son be involved in any form of indiscipline after the last warning, there will be no other alternative but only to go on indefinite suspension,” part of the letter sent to Bobi Wine and Barbie Kyagulanyi reads.
Apparently, some staff members wanted Solomon expelled from school but they were reigned on by officials from the Ministry of Education.
