A Senior Three student at Seeta High School Main Campus was on Friday morning found dead in a suspected suicide.
Eli Shama Ssesanga’s body was discovered by students who had woken up for morning preps. The shocked students later informed teachers who later managed to get police to the scene at around 4:00am.
However, from Friday, the information about the incident has since been scanty after the school management concealed it from the public.
Kyaggwe TV has however learnt that Ssessanga, a son to a Kampala businessman Robert Ssessaazi allegedly hanged himself after his father refused to give him sh2m he had asked from him.
Ssessanga was buried on Saturday February 22, 2025 at Kyotera.
Efforts to get an official comment from the police were futile. However, officers from Mukono police station who preferred anonymity confirmed the incident and said that the body was taken to the city mortuary for a postmortem.
The officer also indicated that the school management cautioned them against revealing the incident to the public, especially the media. Seeta Schools belong to the State Minister for Higher Education, John Chrysostom Muyingo.
A CID officer at Mukono Police Station who preferred anonymity confirmed the incident to Uganda Radio Network.
This is the second incident involving the death of a student in a school in Mukono.
Two weeks ago, a senior three student of Mpoma Girls, Carnelian Mary Ndagire, set herself on fire, protesting to return to the same school.
