THE Lord's Resistance Army (LRA) chief Joseph Kony has handed in two of his wives to the joint forces hunting for him and his fighters in the North-eastern DR Congo.
The spokesperson for the joint operation, code-named Lightning Thunder, Capt. Deo Akiiki, yesterday said the duo, a Ugandan and a Congolese, reported to the allies south of Doruma at Biebie-Alala in the area of Sokure.
Akiiki said Kony’s wives were received after 3:00pm yesterday and the message they had from Kony was not yet known.
“We are sending our chopper to pick them. When they arrive at our command post, intelligence will talk to them and we will know whether they have any message from Kony,†Akiiki said.
Two LRA commanders, Okot Odhiambo and Dominic Ongwen want to surrender to the UPDF.
Fugitive Kony is wanted at The Hague for war crimes and crimes against humanity.
