Police in Iganga have opened an investigation into counterfeit bank payment slips connected to a nursing school, Uganda Radionetwork reports. The inquiry follows the discovery of the falsified documents, which were reportedly submitted as proof of payment.
Uganda Radionetwork did not say how many slips are involved, what amounts they covered, or whether anyone has been arrested or charged. The names of the school and the bank or banks named on the slips were also not disclosed in the reporting.
According to Uganda Radionetwork, the case is being handled as a police probe. The report, published on Wednesday, gives no further detail on how the suspected forgeries came to light or who flagged them to authorities.
Forged payment slips are a recurring concern for institutions that rely on paper or scanned receipts to confirm that fees or other charges have been paid. Because such documents can be altered or reproduced, schools and businesses often face difficulty verifying them without checking directly with the bank involved. The material provided does not indicate whether the Iganga case involves student fees or another type of payment, and no motive has been reported.
Uganda Radionetwork's account is limited to the existence of the investigation and the nature of the documents at its center. No court filings, statements from the school, or comments from bank officials were included in the reporting available.
Further updates are expected as the police inquiry proceeds. What to watch next: whether Uganda Radionetwork or other outlets report arrests, charges, or a confirmed total value tied to the fake slips.
