Africa-Press – Uganda. <\/strong><\/span>A group of armed suspected cattle raiders Friday night attacked residents of Tunzia Cell in Midigo Town Council, Yumbe District.<\/p>\n

According to the area LC3 Chairperson Mr Gasper Onzima, the said criminals reportedly abducted one resident identified as Muhammad Abega who they instructed to take them to various homes thought to have livestock.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe rebels collected many animals and they were trying to escape with them to South Sudan. The UPDF intercepted the suspected cattle raiders before crossing the border and there was exchange of fire that led to the death of one of them,” he said.<\/p>\n

Confirming the shoot\u2013out, UPDF fourth division spokesperson Capt Ahmad Hassan Kato said: \u201cOne of about four suspected South Sudanese cattle thieves was put out of action after he came into contact with our forces along Kandiyo-Tululu road in Tunzia Village, Mocha Parish, in Midigo Town Council.\u201d<\/p>\n

Authorities say the deceased was dressed in a South Sudanese army uniform bearing the rank of major.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe could not be identified at the time but he died instantly and the rest ran away,\u201d Midigo Town Council LC3 Chairperson Mr Onzima informed.<\/p>\n

Dairy farming is a means to an end to cattle rustling<\/p>\n

According to Capt Kato, an SMG gun and 26 rounds of ammunitions were recovered while at least 17 goats and 15 cows were also rescued.<\/p>\n

This publication understands that the deceased has been \u201cburied on the Ugandan side in Kandiyo, Yumbe\u201d even as leaders are urging settlers near the West Nile border to relocate.<\/p>\n

“We resolved in a security meeting that those settled close to the border especially near River Kaya must shift towards Kandiyo because it will be hard to come to their rescue in case something happens to them as the UPDF barracks are far,” Mr Onzima cautioned.<\/p>\n

On Saturday, the army voiced determination \u201cto ensure that the West Nile borderline is safe and secure.\u201d<\/p>\n

Some unconfirmed speculation directly linked the suspected cattle raiders to the Sudan People’s Liberation Army In Opposition (SPLA-IO). A top SPLA-IO official Saturday said he was not aware of the incident.<\/p>\n

“I will get in touch with our SPLA-IO Commander and the Ugandan forces then inform you about of what happened,” Col Lam said.<\/p>\n

Deadly raids by armed criminals have persisted in some parts of Uganda in attacks that official data shows have claimed over 50 civilians in just over one year.<\/p>\n
