Police in Hoima are hunting for Justus Mukiibi a teacher at Premier Secondary School in Hoima City for allegedly assaulting a senior two student because of conversing during an academic test.
The rowdy teacher assaulted a sixteen-year-old, Joan Nyangoma on the evening of March 17, as they were writing an entrepreneurship test.
Sources allege that the teacher who was supervising the learners asked them to stand up and handover the papers since time was up.
While in the line as learners were placing the papers on the table, a colleague asked Nyangoma to help her hand in her paper but the survivor refused.
