The Councillor of Omuntele Constituency, Sacky Nangula, has condemned the chaining of a nine-year-old girl by her guardians due to alleged ill behaviour.

The incident sent shockwaves after a video started circulating on social media.

The incident took place at Otambo Yakawali village.

It is alleged that the victim was chained by her guardians after they noticed that the girl always stole from the neighbourhood and school.

In an attempt to discipline and keep the child at home, her guardians chained her, claiming they were too old to control her.
