Suspected Pokot warriors have shot dead a police constable in Nakapiripirit district.

Raphael Opio Akol was reportedly shot dead last night in an ambush allegedly staged by the warriors.

Mike Longole, police mouthpiece for Karamoja says UPDF soldiers responding to the attack set up another ambush, where one warrior was put out of action.

Longole says the district police commander Nakapiripirit along with the investigating team have visited the scene and retrieved two cartridges, while a bow and six arrows were also recovered.

By press time, the body of constable Opio was yet to be transported to Moroto regional referral hospital for a postmortem, as inquiries into the incident continue.
