Emmanuel Onyanga, a PPC no_71630 attached to Bugweri police station and Isaac Ocaka 30-years old  a peasant of Teduka cell, Aduku Town council in Kwania district were arrested following a tip off by a concerned local.

Patrick Jimmy Okema, the North Kyoga Police spokesperson confirmed the development saying the suspects are under their custody.

“Yesterday at around 4pm police of North Kyoga got a tip off from concerned citizen that someone wanted to sell a gun at 2m shillings. A follow up was made within Lira City as per the intelligence sent on ground and two suspects were apprehended along Juba road in a room.”
