Last Friday, a student from kyambogo university identified as Ivan Oketcho and pursuing a bachelors degree in telecommunication engineering was attacked by unidentified people, cutting his forehead with a knife.
Campus Bee has learnt that this student was attacked at around 9pm in the night as he was coming from campus and heading to Bweyogerere where he resides. However the reason for his attack is still unknown.
A source familiar with the incident intimated that Oketcho, who was walking with a friend at that time, nearly breathed his last when a mob of people that the source referred to as ‘Banda Boys’ hit him, leaving a deep cut on his head and walked away without taking anything from him.
The attackers did not do any harm to his colleague who was already too frightened to make an alarm or even to take off.
Moments later, Oketcho was rushed to one of the near by health facilities where he got first aid and he is currently recovering and undergoing treatment at his parents home in Bweyogerere.
We wish him a quick recovery and advise students to keep safe and avoid night travels.
