Four Police Officers Murdered, Two LDUs Injured As Public Attacks Against Security Officials Escalate
Kampala: According to Police Spokesperson Fred Enanga, in the last 4 months, the country has registered four serious incidents of deadly attacks on security personnel, in the areas of Busunju, Wakiso, Soroti, and Mbarara where 6 security personnel were attacked.
Enanga says that all 4 police officers were murdered while the two LDUs escaped with serious injuries and out of the 6 guns robbed, only two have been recovered although efforts are in high gear to recover the 4 remaining guns.
”The public should know that ambush attacks and theft of guns from security personnel is an extreme form of violence and can be life-threatening. Although, the motives are not yet clear but the fact that guns are robbed, we believe, the theft and acquisition of guns is a major factor,” says Enanga.
