Africa-Press<\/a> – Uganda<\/a>. <\/strong><\/span>The Uganda People’s Defense Force (UPDF) soldiers have arrested 13 Sudanese in Kitgum District after they crossed into Uganda territory with intent to cause havoc.<\/p>\n

Army 5th Division spokesperson, Lt Hassan Ahamed Kato, confirmed that two Sudanese suspected to be animal and crop thieves were first arrested in Lipan hunting ground, Kitenyi Sub-county in Kitgum on Saturday night.<\/p>\n

Upon learning of the arrest of their two colleagues, 11 Sudanese men again crossed into Uganda with five guns supposedly on a rescue mission.<\/p>\n

However, their luck also ran out after they were cornered by the UPDF following a tip off by an LC1 chairman in Akilok Parish, Orom East Sub-county in Kitgum District.<\/p>\n

\u201cIn the process, five guns were captured from the group; three MK5s and two SMGs,\u201d the 5th Division army spokesperson told Daily Monitor, adding that they were yet to find out the suspects’ details.<\/p>\n

“The suspects were arrested without a single gunshot. This followed a timely and accurate reporting to the UPDF from the community of Lipan which made it easy to cause the arrest of the men,” he said.<\/p>\n

“We managed to intercept them when they least expected. We appeal to the community to be vigilant at all times,” Lt Kato concluded.<\/p>\n
