The police are investigating the circumstances under which a female student of Solberg College in Kabale district is said to have committed suicide.
The school has identified the deceased as Nikita Kiconco of 21 years old.

It’s alleged that, on Friday, April 18, 2025, some students of Solberg College left for the Easter holiday.
Only about 60 of them remained at school, including Kiconco. On Sunday, most students left the school to attend prayers at Nyabikoni COU at around 10:00am.
