Four children have been k!lled in a st@bbing attack at a kindergarten in Uganda’s capital, Kampala, police have confirmed.
The incident occurred on Thursday, April 2, at the Ggaba Early Childhood Development Programme school in Makindye Division, where a man reportedly gained access to the premises by posing as a parent before carrying out the attack.
Police spokeswoman Racheal Kawala said the victims were young children, with local media reporting they were aged between two and three. “We confirm a tragic incident at the Ggaba Early Childhood Development Program school in Makindye Division, Kampala City, where a male suspect brutally stabbed and killed four juveniles,” she said.
The suspect was apprehended after attempting to flee the scene, with residents reportedly trying to lynch him before security forces intervened and took him into custody. Authorities said the motive behind the attack remains unclear and investigations are ongoing.
Videos circulating on social media showed distressed parents gathered outside the school, which has since been cordoned off, seeking information about their children. Such incidents are considered rare in Uganda, heightening shock and concern within the community.
