Meanwhile, suspected warriors have killed a UPDF soldier and made away with two guns in Moroto district.
The soldier had been assigned to provide security for the China Railway 3 company, which is involved in the construction of the Lokitanyala-Kitale road, connecting to Moroto town.
The unfortunate incident occurred around 1:00 pm on Saturday when one officer left his colleague with his gun and went to a nearby trading center.
Seizing the opportunity, the suspected warriors mobilized and launched an attack on the remaining soldier, ultimately taking his gun and that of his colleague.
In an attempt to provide assistance, a UPDF chopper was dispatched for a rescue mission. However, the chopper encountered a mechanical problem and was forced to crash land. END
