\u201cHe went with his team of warriors and raided animals in Nabilatuk, so the UPDF learnt about their move and staged an ambush,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

According to UPDF, the suspect has been has been on their wanted list for some time. He has reportedly been leading massive raids in Sebei, Teso and Bugisu regions.<\/p>\n
