Joint security forces have warned karacunas against acts of dishonesty as they hand over illegal guns in their possessions t authorities following the presidential amnesty.

The caution was sounded after two warriors handed over an illegal gun during the launch of iron sheets distribution in Kaabong district.

The duo identified as Lojore Lokol and Losuk Mariko claimed they were sharing the same gun to conduct raids in different parts of Karamoja.

However, the police spokesperson for Karamoja, Mike Longole says intelligence indicated that each of the suspects had their own gun.

According to Longole, the development prompted security forces to summon them for questioning, where Losuk Mariko disclosed that he has his own gun.

This led to a cordon and search operation in the home of Losuk Mariko in Lodwar east village, Kaabong east sub-county in Kaabong district, leading to the recovery of another gun, with one round of ammunition.

Longole says the duo will be charged as joint offenders for giving false information and illegal possession of firearm.
