Another two police officers have been killed in Wamala policing region of the Uganda Police Force barely two weeks since two of their colleagues were murdered.
The previous two officers were killed in Mityana District.
Now, Wamala regional police spokesperson Racheal Kawala has confirmed that two more police officers were killed at about 7:30pm on December 16 at Nakasozi Police Post in Kiboga District.
Assailants in the double murder of the two police officers also engaged in the aggravated robbery of the deceased’s guns.
Kawala identified the deceased as Francis Cpl Nsubuga and SPC Paul Ddimba.
“The facts indicate that the officers were attacked while seated at the police post, by a gang of four armed men, dressed in civilian attire,” added the Wamala region spokesperson. “
“This is the second such kind of attack within a duration of nine days, targeting police officers and their guns. We have dispatched our teams from the Flying squad unit, to team up with the territorial police and ensure the suspects are identified and brought to justice.”
The motive behind the killings remains unknown.
