“This is one of the most barbaric acts I have ever encountered in my life,” he said.
According to Munemo, he reported the theft to the police who have since started investigations into the matter.

“This is not just an ordinary sculpture, I named it ‘Welcome’ since it is a table where I get to sit with my visitors,” he said.

“I was hoping to raise school fees, but now that it is stolen I don’t know what I am going to do,” he said.
