Police and army in Soroti are watching over a 30-year-old businessman who is undergoing treatment at Soroti Regional Referral Hospital after jumping off from Soroti Main Market.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Allan Onyait, a resident of Orungo Sub County in Amuria district climbed to the second floor of the new market and decided to summersault to the ground on Thursday evening.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The reasons for the decision have not yet been established, Onyait survived the crash when he landed on the jerricans and was rushed to the hospital.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Moses Mwanga Kitiyo, the East Kyoga Regional Police Commander says that Onyait has been operating some business in the main market but developed some issues with the family. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
According to Mwanga, the patient’s mother, whose names was withheld called one of the uncles identified as Simon Ongodia to check on the nephew in the market.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Mwanga added that the survivor will be produced to court once he is discharged from the hospital for attempting suicide.\u00a0 <\/p>\n\n\n\n
According to the Penal Code Act of Uganda, suicide is as a criminal act and those who fails to accomplish it get six months in prison to help them\u00a0 keep safe and give them time to change their mindset about suicide.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Agnes Akwii, one of the vendors in Soroti Main Market says that Onyait first went to seek treatment in a clinic before he returned to the market. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cHe gave the uncle his belongings including the mobile phone but the phone, didn’t have a single contact or message left, having ensured that everything was deleted,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
She added that when his pockets were checked, only a test of Urinary Tract Infection- UTI was positive. But at the hospital, a soldier at the rank of Major had been deployed to guard the survivor and prevent Journalists from accessing information from the family.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
