Senior Four candidate electrocuted in Busia

A Senior Four candidate at Buhobe Secondary School in Busia District has been electrocuted.

Elisha Noah Bogere, 20, was on October 7 electrocuted as he hanged clothes on a line at premises he was renting with ten other students at Buhobe Trading Centre.

The officer in-charge (OC) of Fire and Rescue Services in Busia District, Jessica Amuge, said: “We have embarked on investigations relating to illegal power connections.

The landlord, who by press time was not available, is said to have tapped an illegal connection from his house to one of the video halls at Buhobe Trading Centre, which is said to have led to a power leakage.

Buhobe Secondary School head teacher Deogratius Mugeni told Monitor that they “had received the tragic news with shock.”
