UPDF has since revealed that it’s doing a hot pursuit to bring the rebels to book and also rescue the students abducted as reports indicated that they took direction to Virunga National Park inside the DRC.
The death toll now stands at 41 with boys and girls among those killed. Sources privy to this incident reveal that the terrorists broke into the girls’ dormitory and started slaughtering them one by one while the boy’s dormitory was bombed after they refused to open.
