Terror in the Classroom: Uganda School Plagued by Demonic Possession

Children at a Ugandan primary school began crawling like snakes and barking like dogs during class, forcing authorities to shut down the institution after accusations of ritual sacrifice, and leading to violent mob justice against a teacher accused of dark rituals.

The Outbreak Begins

In the Kabale District, Uganda, something disturbing began happening within the walls of Maziba Mixed Primary School. Students at the Catholic-founded institution began displaying behaviors that no one could explain. Children who had been sitting quietly in their classrooms suddenly started screaming, crawling on their stomachs like serpents, and barking like wild animals. The episodes began during the first term but became worse as time passed.

Strange Behaviors Escalate

The affected children showed strength that seemed impossible for their small frames. Witnesses described pupils beating their classmates with unusual force while others collapsed to the ground, writhing and shouting words no one could understand. Some students began crawling across the floor on their bellies, moving like snakes in ways that disturbed everyone who saw them.

What made the situation even more frightening was how the children all said the same things. Multiple students, while in these altered states, repeatedly called out the name “Monday” — referring to a teacher at the school named Monday Expedito.

The Teacher Under Suspicion

Monday Expedito had been working at Maziba Mixed Primary School when the strange incidents began. Parents and community members started blaming the educator, believing he had somehow caused the supernatural disturbances affecting their children.

The suspicions grew stronger when residents noticed a pattern. Students claimed that Teacher Monday had asked them to bring 100 Ugandan shillings to school. According to worried parents, only the children who had given money to the teacher seemed to be among those displaying the bizarre behaviors.

Crisis Meeting Turns Violent

School officials called an emergency meeting to address the growing crisis. Kabale Resident District Commissioner Godfrey Nyakahuma, District Education Officer Moses Bwengye Tumwijukye, and other local leaders gathered at the school to discuss the situation.

During this very meeting, nine pupils began showing the same strange behaviors that had been troubling the school. In front of the assembled officials, children started barking, crawling like snakes, and shouting. The possessed students pointed at Teacher Monday, claiming he had “sacrificed” them.

The crowd of parents and community members could no longer control their anger. The meeting erupted into chaos as angry families stormed out, determined to take justice into their own hands.

Mob Justice and Destruction

The fury of the community exploded that Monday afternoon. An angry mob descended upon Teacher Monday’s property with devastating force. Four houses belonging to the educator were set ablaze, including his main residence. The flames consumed not only his homes but also his plantation of crops.

The destruction did not stop with buildings. The mob killed his livestock — goats, sheep, and pigs — leaving behind a scene of total devastation. By the time the violence ended, Teacher Monday had lost nearly everything he owned.

Fearing for his life, the accused teacher and his wife went into hiding. Community members suspected of leading the attack also fled the area, knowing that law enforcement would soon come looking for them.

Official Response and Investigation

District officials moved quickly to restore order. RDC Nyakahuma ordered Teacher Monday to report to Kabale Police Station for his own safety and preventive detention. He condemned the mob violence while saying that the accusations needed serious investigation.

Andrew Akanyijuka, the officer in charge of Kabale Central Police Station, called the mob’s actions criminal behavior. He promised that those responsible for the destruction would be identified, arrested, and charged according to the law.

The District Education Officer instructed that classes should resume on Tuesday, June 10th, but also ordered that another teacher, Doreen Nayebare, be suspended pending investigation. Authorities suspected she had been working with Teacher Monday in whatever had been affecting the children.

The School’s Dark History

Head Teacher Tofiri Ngabirano revealed that the troubles had actually begun much earlier. During a school celebration in the first term, students had helped slaughter a chicken for the party. Shortly after, one of the children who had participated in the slaughter began behaving like a chicken, clucking and moving in bird-like motions.

The bizarre behavior spread like a contagion. Other students began imitating a goat that had been killed for the same celebration. What had started as isolated incidents soon affected dozens of children throughout the school.

The situation became so severe that end-of-term examinations had to be cancelled during the first term. School officials sent students home early, hoping that the break would somehow resolve the mysterious afflictions.

Spiritual Intervention Attempts

The Catholic Church, which had founded the school under St. Kizito Maziba Parish, took action to address what many believed was a spiritual crisis. Before the second term began in May, church leaders organized a spiritual conference and prayer service at the school.

The ceremony was meant to dedicate the institution to God and create protection against whatever forces had been tormenting the students. For a brief time, the intervention seemed to work. When school reopened, enrollment actually increased to about 250 pupils as parents regained confidence.

Remegio Byamukama, Education Secretary of the Kabale Diocese, assured parents that prayer teams would continue interceding for the school. Rev. Fr. Ignatius Mbabazi, Parish Priest of St. Kizito Maziba Catholic Church, urged the community to maintain faith despite the frightening events.

The Return of Terror

The relief proved temporary. On Monday, June 2nd, 2025, chaos erupted again around 10 AM. Multiple students began displaying the same terrifying behaviors that had troubled the school during the first term. Children screamed, fainted, and crawled across classroom floors while chanting the name “Monday.”

Geoffrey Byarugaba, the local defense secretary, described scenes that seemed pulled from a nightmare. Students were “crawling like snakes” and displaying uncontrollable strength. What had started with just two affected children quickly spread until nearly half the school showed signs of possession.

The situation became so severe that education authorities made the decision to close Maziba Mixed Primary School indefinitely. Videos of the disturbing incidents spread across social media, shocking residents throughout Kabale District.

Community in Fear

The events at Maziba Mixed Primary School left the entire community living in terror. Parents worried about their children’s safety and education. Some families began keeping their children away from school entirely, afraid that the mysterious affliction might spread.

Immaculate Kesiime, wife of one of the school’s teachers, revealed that even her husband had begun showing signs of being affected. During a prayer session, a possessed student had screamed, “Teacher Monday is calling me, and I can see him” — suggesting that the teacher’s influence extended beyond his physical presence.

Deputy headteacher John Bosco Twinomuhwezi expressed frustration with law enforcement’s response to the crisis. He confirmed that Teacher Monday had been asked to stay away from the school after the first incidents, but the problems continued even in his absence.

Ongoing Investigation

As investigations continue, the fate of Maziba Mixed Primary School’s 586 enrolled pupils remains uncertain. Parents like Fidel Turyagyenda worry that continued disruptions will force children to abandon their education entirely. His Primary 7 child had already registered for final examinations before the crisis forced another closure.

School officials scheduled a general Parent-Teacher Association meeting to discuss potential solutions to the crisis. However, with Teacher Monday in hiding and community tensions running high, finding a resolution appears difficult.

The case has drawn attention from local government officials who must balance respect for spiritual beliefs with the need to restore order and protect both the accused teacher and the affected students. As the investigation continues, the community of Maziba remains gripped by fear of forces they cannot understand or control.
