He explains that Magezi, who was armed with a club and machete raided the school on Tuesday evening, causing a stampede after, which he pounced on the headteacher and beat him up. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Magezi inflicted injuries on Mwanje after assaulting him with a club while threatening to hack him with a machete.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Mwanje told Police that his trouble started when he sent Magezi\u2019s son for his birth certificate to enable the school to register him for the final examinations.\u00a0 <\/p>\n\n\n\n
