Africa-Press – Uganda. <\/strong><\/span>Police in Lyantonde District are holding the district ruling National Resistance Movement (NRM) registrar on allegations of stealing computers from a school where he serves as an ICT (Information Communication Technology) teacher.<\/p>\n

According to police preliminary investigations, the suspect aged 30, reportedly broke into a computer laboratory at Rwamabara Seed secondary School in Mpumudde Sub County in the wee hours of Tuesday and made away with 10 desktop computers.<\/p>\n

Mr Moses Ayebazibwe, the deputy head teacher of Rwamabara Seed Secondary School said they woke up in the morning only to find the computer laboratory vandalised.<\/p>\n

\u201cThey [thieves] broke into the lab through one of the windows and when we realized that 10 computers were missing, we immediately notified police which launched a search,\u201d he said in an interview on Wednesday.<\/p>\n

When police deployed a sniffer dog, it led detectives to the staff quarters and stopped at the suspect’s room, which was locked at the time.<\/p>\n

In the presence of school top management, the detectives broke into the room, but they did not find the stolen equipment.<\/p>\n

The sniffer dog then proceeded to a nearby push where six of the 10 computers were recovered, according to Mr Ayebazibwe.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe prime suspect was seen at the school late in the evening of Monday, making frantic calls and according to the information I have received, he did not sleep in his room at the staff quarters,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe exhibits together with the suspect are with the police.\u201d Mr Ayebazibwe added.<\/p>\n

Lyantonde Resident District Commissioner, Mr Godfrey Mbetegyeraije condemned the act and advised school authorities to always first do background checks on the staff they employ. He also took a swipe at the suspect for tainting the image of the NRM party.<\/p>\n

\u201cI’m sure his bosses at the NRM secretariat are also going to replace him because such a dishonest person cannot be trusted with leadership,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

Lyantonde District Police Commander, Ms Scovia Birungi, said the suspect is likely to be charged with theft once investigations are complete.<\/p>\n

\u201cHis accomplice is still on the run, but we are going to get him. Once he\u2019s arrested we shall process their file and take them to court,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n
