“So far, 25 bodies have been recovered from the school and transferred to Bwera Hospital. Also recovered are 8 victims, who remain in critical condition at Bwera Hospital.”

“We are in hot pursuit of the elements who abducted the children,” Kulayigye told SoftPowerNews on Saturday morning.

The DPC of Bwera got in touch with the Commander of the UPDF Mountain Battalion and the forces advanced to the scene.

On arrival, the school was found burning with dead bodies of students lying in the compound and the school’s food store broken into and food (posho and beans) taken.

A fire truck from the region was called to put off the fire.

Information from the public indicates that the attackers moved on foot with some abducted students (numbers not established) whom they used to carry the looted food towards Virunga National Park.

On June 8, 1998, ADF rebels attacked Kichwamba Technical Institute where they killed 80 students, left others injured and several abducted.
