The Deputy Inspector General of Police is in Lango to assess the security situation in the sub-region following reports of persistent cattle raids by the Karamojong cattle rustlers.


Maj. Gen Geoffrey Tumusiime Kasigazi started the tour with a closed-door meeting with all the District Police Commanders and other leaders in the region.

Kasigazi is expected to meet all the Resident District Commissioners in Lango in order to come up with a lasting solution to the cattle raids. Reports from the Police indicate that 273 heads of cattle have been stolen in the last four months.

Amos Nsamba, the UPDF 5th Division Spokesperson says the UPDF has deployed adequate manpower at Alir in Ogwete sub-county Otuke District which is believed to be the entry point of the Karamojong cattle rustlers.
