Africa-Press – Uganda. <\/strong><\/span>Police in Napak District in the Karamoja sub-region have launched a manhunt for a group of Karimojong rustlers who reportedly shot dead a Boda Boda rider.<\/p>\n

Samuel Mangat,30, was shot dead while riding his motorcycle back to Matany town from Apeitolim where he had taken a passenger.<\/p>\n

Mr Micheal Longole, the Karamoja Regional Police Spokesperson confirmed the incident saying the deceased was killed at 2pm on Saturday at Kakine village, Lopei Sub County along Turtuko-Lopei road.<\/p>\n

“We have opened up investigations against the thugs behind this heinous act. Our preliminary investigations are pining cattle rustlers whom we are now tracking,” he said, adding: “We have not yet established the motive of the killers because they did not take anything from the deceased.”<\/p>\n

Despite the heavy deployment in the area, the Karimojong warriors continue killing people looting properties.<\/p>\n

In February this year, cattle traders from Teso region were shot at in an ambush around Kotido but no one died although they were left with injuries.<\/p>\n

In March, another group of cattle traders was shot at in Kotido, and animals were taken from them.<\/p>\n

In April, four Lorries carrying fresh food from Mbale to Moroto were shot at on Nakapiripirit-Moroto road leaving one injured.<\/p>\n

In the same month, a businessman in Kotido was shot dead at Panyangara on Moroto-Kotido road.<\/p>\n

However, Mr Longole says the situation is under control and that the security forces were on top of the situation.<\/p>\n
