“Sunday was once a primary school teacher working with Kabale district local government, but when the district was carrying out document verification, he said he had lost them. That’s how he quit teaching in government school. But after his disappearance, the family members tried to search for him in vain,” she said.
His wife, Ms Winfred Komuhangi said she left him home as she was going to work but when she returned, he was nowhere to be seen and efforts to find him were futile.
