Eight students at Godoma Boys Secondary School have been arrested in connection with an attempted torching of their school.

They were remanded at Bamba police station pending arraignment in court.

Police arrested the students after receiving information from the school boarding master that a section of students had bought petrol, and it was already in the school compound.

A search at the school led to the recovery of 750 millilitres of petrol in two plastic containers, one in a 500 ml in a solai water bottle with a blue bottle top and 250ml in a one little bottle with a greenish holed bottle top hidden outside one of the dormitories.
