A graduated tax swoop in Busowa trading centre, in Bugiri district on
Wednesday turned tragic, when three people died, reports Moses
Nampala.
Trouble started when an armed local defence unit (LDU)
personnel opened fire and shot a tax defaulter who was trying to avoid
tax collectors.
Another suspected defaulter who attempted to cross
to the other side of the road was knocked dead by a speeding saloon car.
Grieved residents, who had witnessed the shooting, descended on LDU
personnel and beat him to death.
Bugiri district Police commander
Patrick Mugizi (right) condemned the shooting.
He identified the
suspected tax defaulter who was shot dead as Bernard Okech, while Moses
Waiswa was the one knocked dead by a car.
The LDU, Robert Mwinike,
was attached to Kibimba Police post.
The bodies were taken to Bugiri
hospital mortuary.
Witnesses said prior to the tragic incident, the
security operatives who were in company of the Busowa sub-county chief,
had accosted Okech.
The LDU who allegedly shot Okech was reported to
be on the run. The Police fought to restrain aggrieved residents from
causing more harm.
