A four - year old boy died instantly after he drowned in a disused pit latrine in Nabitende Banada village, Nambale sub county Iganga.

Hakim Bogere is reported to have accidentally slipped into pit as he ran to pick a ball during a heavy rain down pour yesterday.

The LC one chairman, Nabitende Banada village, Siraji Isiko said Bogere’s playmates raised an alarm calling for help, but rescuers discovered that Bogere had already died.

An angry mob attempted to lynch the owner of the pit latrine accusing him of negligence but was restrained by police which fired several shots in the air to disperse the crowd.
