Emmanuel Ondoka was arrested in Olegu, a bursting trading centre on
the Uganda side of the border between Uganda and South Sudan.
"He was arrested while trying to ride away with the motorcycle red in
colour registration number EE114MC. He was heading towards the
direction of Gulu", Jimmy Okema, a spokesperson for the Uganda police
in northern Uganda told the Sudan Tribune on Monday.
Gulu is located about 70 kms west of the border market town of Elego
and is a major hub for Uganda- South Sudan trade.
The suspect is being held at Elego police post awaiting the owner of
the motorcycle to lodge a complaint before he can be arraigned before
a court in Amuru district.
Asked what would happen to the South Sudan national if the owner of
the motorcycle does not lodge a complaint, Jimmy Okema the police
spokesperson in northern Uganda said they will be compelled to release
him on police bond.
Last week the Uganda Revenue Authority (URA) arrested several
numberless vehicles and motorcycles in Elego which has a major market
that serves both Uganda and South Sudan.
Many of the motorcycles and the vehicles were reportedly from South Sudan.
"We stop you if you’re riding a numberless motorcycle or vehicle for
you to show us the logbooks. If you fail to provide us with
documentation, we impound you", said Okema.
