The people of Mbale City were left in shock after a Senior Four student was killed on Monday evening in what appears to be a case of school gang violence.
The student, Sharik Wasike, was studying at Mbale High School. According to the police, he was stabbed by an unknown person who quickly ran away after the attack. The sad incident happened suddenly, and no one has been arrested yet.
Police believe that this killing might be connected to ongoing rivalries between students from three schools in the area: Mbale High School, Nkoma Secondary School, and Mbale SS. These rivalries may have turned violent, leading to this tragic loss of life.
After the attack, Sharik’s body was taken to Mbale City Mortuary for a postmortem. Investigations are still going on to find out who committed the crime and why. The police are asking anyone with information to come forward and help them catch the person responsible.
This sad event has brought a lot of fear and anger among parents, teachers, and students. Many people are now calling on school authorities and government leaders to act quickly. They want better security in schools and more guidance for students to stop such violence from happening again.
Police have also warned that they will take strong action against student gangs and anyone involved in causing trouble in schools. They say it is important to keep schools safe for learning and to protect all students.
This is still a developing story, and we hope justice will be served for Sharik and his family.
