One unidentified suspected warrior has been put out of action in Karenga district and one SMG with 15 rounds of ammunition recovered.

The cattle raider met his fate in the hands of joint security forces as he drove away five stolen animals.

According to Karamoja region police spokesperson, Inspector of Police Mike Longole, the fateful incident happened around 8:30pm around Lokel area in Kapedo.

Longole says the thief had camouflaged in a UPDF look-alike shirt with a sheet commonly known as Nakatuko but security forces were able to identify him as a wrong element.

Cattle raiders in Karamoja have on several occasions carried out attacks donning UPDF-like fatigue.

Recently, security conducted a search for UPDF camouflage clothes in areas of Kampala, where several youths handed over thousands of these clothes.

It remains to be seen what security personnel in Karamoja sub-region will do the rid the community off these military-like attires.
