Shocker As Students Attack Police Station Over Teacher’s Detention
A group of about 80 students from Nebbi Town Secondary School attacked Nebbi Police Station on Tuesday in an attempt to rescue their games teacher, who had been detained for preventive arrest.
According to Nebbi Central Police Station, the incident occurred at around 11:45am when students, armed with stones, bricks, and sticks, stormed the station entrance.
Officers attempted to calm the situation, but the students forcibly freed their teacher, prompting police to fire warning shots into the air to disperse the crowd.
Emmanuel Okello, the games teacher at Nebbi Town Secondary School, was arrested following allegations that he attempted to incite students to disrupt the finals of a football tournament.
On March 17, Nebbi Town SS played against Comboni SS and lost, sparking anger among students and their games teacher, who accused officials of poor officiating.
A meeting was held later that night at the district boardroom to resolve the matter, during which the District Inspector of Schools ordered Okello’s detention to prevent potential violence.
Following the attack on the station, police managed to re-arrest Okello and took three students into custody.
The school administration condemned the students’ actions, apologized, and pleaded for the release of both the teacher and students, promising to address the issue internally.
The District Police Commander agreed, on the condition that such incidents would not happen again.
After the situation was brought under control, the tournament finals proceeded, with Mamba SS emerging as the champions after defeating Comboni SS.
Collins Asea, the regional police spokesperson for the West Nile sub-region, confirmed the incident and condemned the students’ actions, stating that attacking a police facility is a serious offense.
He urged school authorities to strengthen discipline and conflict resolution mechanisms to prevent such incidents.
Additionally, he advised students to use peaceful and lawful channels to address grievances rather than resorting to violence, warning that, in the future, such acts could lead to more severe legal consequences.
Renowned televangelist Pastor Benny Hinn received a rapturous welcome in Uganda as tens of thousands flocked to witness what many have described as a spiritual awakening.
The founder of the World Healing Center Church is currently on a healing crusade in Kampala, hosted by Pastor Robert Kayanja of the Miracle Centre Cathedral.
Day one of the crusade saw an estimated crowd of over 200,000 people gathered in anticipation of divine miracles. In a message shared on his X (formerly Twitter) account, Hinn expressed joy and awe at the massive turnout and the spiritual energy of the night.
“Precious people, something extraordinary is happening in Uganda. Over 200,000 souls gathered on Night 1 of our Healing Crusade in Uganda! 60,000 lined up at 8AM for a 7PM service. 10,000 pastors stood in unity. And already, 14 nations are represented,” Hinn wrote.
The preacher went on to claim that the power of God was so strong that numerous people experienced supernatural healings. Among the alleged miracles were the disappearance of throat cancer, the restoration of blind vision, and relief from chronic pain.
“The Power of God came down like a mighty river. Throat cancer disappeared. Blind eyes were healed. Chronic pain vanished. This is the move we’ve prayed for… and it’s only just begun,” he added.
The roads leading to the crusade venue were choked with heavy traffic and large crowds on foot, many bringing along loved ones battling various illnesses. The atmosphere was charged with hope, emotion, and spiritual fervor as worshippers sang, prayed, and waited for what they believed could be their miracle moment.
One particularly emotional moment occurred when Pastor Jessica Kayanja, wife to the host pastor, reportedly fell under the “power of the Holy Spirit” after being prayed for by Hinn, prompting cheers and spiritual outpourings from the audience.
However, the crusade has not been without its critics. Some Ugandans online questioned the authenticity of the healing claims, suggesting that such miracles, if genuine, should be demonstrated in medical settings like Mulago Hospital, where countless patients suffer without such divine intervention.
Despite the doubts, the event marks one of the largest religious gatherings Uganda has seen in recent years, and many faithful remain hopeful that this crusade will continue to bring spiritual and physical transformation to those in need.
