An informant attached to the Internal Security Organisation-ISO in Moroto district is\u00a0fighting for his life at Moroto regional referral hospital after being shot by suspected cattle rustlers. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The victim is Mark Longok Louse, a resident of Kambizi village, Nacogorom parish in Loputuk sub-county in Moroto district.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Micheal Longole, the Karamoja Regional Police Spokesperson, says that rustlers shot Longok at his home on Monday night before fleeing to an unknown location. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
“He was rushed to Moroto Regional Referral Hospital for treatment and a case of attempted murder has been opened at CPS Moroto vide SD REF 06\/13\/06\/2022,” he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
According to Longole, the Moroto District Police Commander and a host of other security officers visited the scene of the crime where they recovered two cartridges. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
He says a police canine introduced to the scene led the security team to Kanakomol village in Loputuk sub-county in a bar belonging to Emmanuel Losike.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
He was arrested together with his wife Lilian Natama to help in investigations. This is the second attack on a security officer in less than three days. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

On Sunday, suspected rustlers gundown a Boda boda rider just\u00a0 3 kilometers away from the Presidential state lodge in Moulinga in Napak district, where president, Yoweri Museveni was meeting local leaders to forge a way forward to ending insecurity in the region.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Moses Lokiru, a resident of Nakamsitae village in Nadunget sub-county, says that the security forces created a gap for the rustlers to resume raids. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
“This insecurity started slowly and the government didn’t act immediately and are now acting when it’s too late,” he said. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Stella Nakiru a resident of camp Swahili Chini in Moroto Municipality, says that the remaining few criminal elements have turned out to be more dangerous than when they used to be many.\u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
