"I was inside my bedroom when I heard people breaking the door. I swiftly woke up and pushed the door to prevent them from entering, but they overpowered me and entered," Ssonko recounted. "They started hacking me while demanding money, then proceeded to my wife's bedroom and took an unspecified amount of money."

The attackers, estimated to be around seven, aged between 19 and 22, and armed with machetes, arrived on three boda bodas. They targeted Ssonko's home, where his family runs Dreams Primary School, and made off with school fees collected from parents.

"We had planned to count the money on Sunday and take it to the bank on Monday, but little did we know we would be attacked," said Ms Nalongo Ssonko.

In a similar incident, the family of Gabriel Kakooza in Mityana Municipality was attacked by the same gang. The assailants broke into their home around 1am, demanded money, and destroyed household items.
