A squad of UPDF and Police personnel were on Monday deployed at Kamu’s Market, Bulegeni in Sironko district to quell a Bagisu-Sabiny riot in which three people were killed on Sunday.

The UPDF 3rd Division commander, Col. Sula Ssemakula and Kapchorwa district Police commander Thomson Ogole said the riot was sparked off when a suspected thug was axed to death after he was found with a gun.

Ssemakula said a brother to the victim got another gun and went on a shooting spree, injuring several people.
