"These students were brought by their head teacher after convincing them that he had registered them with UNEB and were supposed to sit for their respective exam papers at Bombo Hall examination centre. The headteacher disappeared at the center leaving behind the pickup vehicle he used to transport the students from Matugga town. We have handed over the case to Matugga police station where the case is supposed to be handled",Mr Emuna told the Daily Monitor.
According to one of the Students Hassan Kawere, the school head teacher Mr Emmanuel Kutessa and the School Director Mr Richard Kyagera assured them at the examination briefing last week that they had been registered at Bombo hall.

"When we arrived at Bombo hall in the morning, the Index numbers given to us at the time of briefing turned to be of other candidates who registered at the hall. Their names were corresponding with the index numbers given to us. We were told to leave the centre because we could not explain what had happened,” Kawere said.
The students said that they paid Shs 100,000 for examination registration and another Shs70,000 for transport and meals but were never given receipts by the school head teacher.
