The Uganda People’s Defense Forces has launched investigations into the killing of two people in Gulu on Thursday during walk to work demonstrations in the northern Uganda town.
This follows reports of the killing of two men by alleged army officers who found them in their home near Layibi market where they work and shot them on suspicion they had been involved in the walk to work demonstration.
The 4th Division Spokesperson, Capt. Moses Mugisha says the army has launched investigations into the incident and if any of its officers are found to have shot the civilians, the guilty officers will be court marshaled.
The Gulu District Police Commander, Moses Muluya says the police called in reinforcements of the army after residents in Gulu became rowdy, but it is not clear who shot the two residents.
The people in Gulu became rowdy after Democratic party President Nobert Mao who led the walkers in Gulu on Thursday was arrested and taken away by police after finding him walking. Mao had been arrested for the same three days before in Ntinda, Kampala. He was released on bail after being charged with inciting violence and demonstrating without police permission.
