Susan Akany, the Agago Resident District Commissioner told Uganda Radio Network that some residents have fled their homes and sought refuge in the homes of relatives and friends as the armed rustlers hide in hilly areas in the district and attack at night.
Micheal Longole, the Karamoja Region Police Spokesperson, says that security had marked Losilang as a hideout and springboard for the rustlers. "They tried to resist our orders and started engaging us. So, we had no option but to respond to them and one was put out of action while the rest managed to escape, “he said.
