Defilement cases drop
GULU - Defilement cases in the north have dropped from 203 in June to 142 last month, the Police have said. The regional crime chief, Vincent Ouma, attributed the decline to their ongoing community policing and sensitisation drive, where the public is involved in crime prevention. He, however, noted that out of 1,713 cases reported to Police stations in Acholi and Lango sub-regions in July, at 203 cases, defilement still topped the crime statistics.
