The Observer reports that students of Bududa Senior Secondary School demonstrated and surrounded officials of the State House Anti-Corruption Unit and police who had come to arrest their headteacher, and pulled him away, forcing the officials to abandon the arrest. The arrest was reportedly ordered by Local Government minister Balaam Barugahara Ateenyi over allegations that the government-aided school was charging fees.
