BLOODY! MP’s Campaign Manager Gunned Down In Bar Raid

By Francis Otucu

A joint team comprising of the police and the army have launched a probe into the murder of Dodoth East MP Samson Lokeris’ nephew and campaign manager killed Thursday evening when armed men raided a bar in Kaabong District.

Lokeris identified the victim as John Bosco Lotyang, his campaign manager.  

The other victim of the shooting is Didi Lokeris, the lawmaker’s nephew.

The duo was watching local TV news at Komuria West in Kaboong town when their attackers visited, firing bullets at the pair.

Whereas the motive remains scanty, the lawmaker said some people warned his camp.

“I got several warnings from some people saying something wrong was going to happen in my camp but I didn’t take it serious. I’m following it seriously and I will know what to do next,” Lokeris told the Daily Monitor.

Major Peter Mugisa, the UPDF 3rd division spokesperson confirmed the shooting and said they had launched a joint investigation to apprehend the assailants and establish their motive.

“We are going to investigate this and if it’s true that it’s connected with politics then it’s unfortunate and will not be tolerated,” he said.
