Africa-Press – Uganda. <\/strong><\/span>Security agencies in Mityana District are investigating the source of leaflets dropped at different locations in the area announcing \u201ca war against government.\u201d<\/p>\n

Police say the anonymous letters are directed to government, public institutions and security installations- particularly Mityana Central Police Station (CPS).<\/p>\n

\u201cThe bandits have also threatened to torch Mityana Junior Primary School. The people behind the leaflets also attempted to burn a school but the fire was stopped,\u201d the Wamala Region Police spokesperson Ms Rachel Kawala disclosed.<\/p>\n

Inscriptions on the leaflets indicate they are circulated by a group describing itself as \u201cUganda Coalition Front for Change.\u201d<\/p>\n

“We have today officially launched a war against the NRM government. To Ugandan civilians, we kindly request for your assistance and maximum cooperation,” one of the leaflets seen by this publication reads.<\/p>\n

Another leaflet reads: “Uganda is bleeding, Transition is not succession. Expect a deadly attack on this station (Mityana CPS) sooner”.<\/p>\n

On Friday, Ms Kawala said police and other security agencies are not taking the threats lightly.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe cannot allow reoccurrence of subversive activities in our country because the consequences are dire. Our joint operations have been intensified to arrest and prosecute the suspects,\u201d she warned.<\/p>\n

Police have now intensified sensitizing masses on vigilance.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe call upon the public to always be vigilant and report any suspicious events and characters,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

Meantime, the territorial police in Mubende District are holding five suspects over possessing military uniforms.<\/p>\n

According to Ms Kawala, the suspects have allegedly been participating in a series of robberies which have been reported in different parts of the district.<\/p>\n

The group was arrested in Kibaati- Kasaana Ward, East Division, Mubende Municipality on Thursday.<\/p>\n

\u201cUpon searching their residence, our officers recovered several house breaking implements, a toy gun and two pairs of army uniforms,\u201d Ms Kawala told this publication on July 29.<\/p>\n

She added that the suspects will be charged with being in possession of government stores, suspected stolen property and breaking implements.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe group had pending charges of aggravated robberies that had earlier been reported against them,\u201d she noted.<\/p>\n

The suspects are currently detained at Mubende Central Police Station (CPS) as investigations into their cases continue .<\/p>\n
