There was drama and rib-cracking at Wiggins Secondary School in Kumi on Tuesday when a man impersonating as an uncle to one of the students at the school was flogged. The man identified as Okurut Desderio 39, is a motorcycle driver attached to Kanyumu Road stage in Kumi Town. The rider had allegedly been promised a reward of Shs2000 incase he successfully represented the errant student as a relative before the school’s disciplinary committee.
The Student identified as Otwani Paul [S5] had allegedly spent his school fees and feared going back to his parents for the same yet he had already been given money for school dues.
“Since I feared going to my parents, a friend of mine told me that he would help me get someone to stand in as a guardian so that we could sort the issue out without my parents’ knowledge,” Paul Otwani said.
However, little did he know that the issue would backfire since the impressionist could not tell the disciplinary committee what the name of the boy he purported to be his nephew was. The parents of the boy were alerted and when they arrived, the impersonator was flogged terribly. He later on accepted to receive Christ when the pastor prayed for him.
“This young boy put me into trouble but I will not be tempted to do this again. From today onwards, I have accepted to get saved,” the tear drenched father of three said.
The Deputy Head teacher in charge discipline, Mrs Grace Ikanut said that since the man had accepted to receive Jesus Christ as his personal savior, it wouldn’t be good to hand him over to police.
“You are free to go now since you have admitted and repented of your wrongs,” Ikanut said
