As of Thursday afternoon, joint security forces at the Atari checkpoint intercepted a vehicle transporting 72 jerricans of crude waragi through the Muyembe–Nakapiripirit road. The suspect, identified as Sodo Juma from Sironko District, was arrested and detained at Ngenge Police Station for further management.
John Robert Adupa, the LC 3 chairperson of Lotisan sub-county in Moroto district, says that police claim that their operations target waragi traders, transporters, and the owners, but they have never seen perpetrators arrested raising questions if the business will really stop.
