Security officials in Karenga district have received a gun, voluntarily handed over by warriors identified as Lokii James and Lokubal Denis.

Karamoja regional police spokesperson Mike Longole says the gun was handed over with one round of ammunition by Lokii and Lokubal, all residents of Lomodoch village, Sangar sub-county in Karenga district.

According to Longole, the illegal gun was received by the anti-stock theft unit zonal commander in Karenga, DPC Karenga and the Diso.

There has been a positive response by some warriors to voluntarily hand over guns to authorities and this has been attributed to the peaceful approach and continuous sensitization of the masses.

Longole says the  warriors are being enticed by the presidential amnesty and package, adding that previously, the raiders were scared of being arrested if they attempted to hand over illegal guns in their possession to security officials.
