Teacher on the run after defiling 15-year-old pupil

Mukono, (UG): The Police at Naggalama Division in Mukono District have mounted a serious manhunt for a male teacher who allegedly defiled a 15-year-old pupil after luring her to bring him juice of shs 500 to his room.

The heartless teacher identified as Nambasa Aron and the victim are both attached to Nabalanga Church of Uganda Primary School in Mukono District.

According to Police Spokesperson Fred Enanga, the incident in which the teacher defiled the unnamed victim occurred on Saturday, September 09, at around 5 p.m. Kabawala village, Nabalanga Parish, Nabbale sub-county, in Mukono district.

Preliminary facts gathered indicate that on the fateful day, the suspect went and found the victim in her brother’s shop at Kabawala Trading Centre at around 4 pm, and ordered for passion fruit juice of Ugx 500 only, which he asked the victim to deliver at his home.

“She was given a note of Ugx 2000 and went to pick up the balance. Upon her return, she was pulled inside the house and sexually assaulted,” Enanga said in a police statement on Tuesday morning.

After the act of sexual violence, Enanga says the teacher bluntly asked the victim to go, and the latter went and narrated her ordeal to her elder brother who reported the matter to the area LCI Chairperson and the police. The suspect is on the run.

The Police Spokesperson condemned the inappropriate behaviour of the teacher and appealed to all parents to always teach these young girls tricks of resistance especially when it comes to scenarios like these because society is filled with evil-minded criminals.

“We do strongly condemn such acts of inappropriate behaviour, by teachers due to the negative impact it causes to pupils. The incident continues to show the dangers school girls face before their-would-be role models,” Enanga said.

“We further urge parents to train their children, child resistance skills of being assertive and to always cry out for help. The hunt for the suspect is on.”
