Hoima City Police are investigating circumstances under which a gun, with registration number 564211535, was stolen from a private security guard identified as Calvin Alunga, 25, attached to Samorai Protective Services.

The incident occurred at Oil Energy Uganda Limited in Kiganda, along Butiaba Road in the wee hours of Wednesday morning.

Julius Allan Hakiiza, the Albertine regional police spokesperson, says the victim was attacked by unknown assailants, who hit him on the head, leaving him in a critical condition. He was later rushed to St. Luke Medical Clinic where he is currently receiving treatment.

Hakiiza says the stolen gun was loaded with four rounds of ammunition.

The regional police mouthpiece further adds that preliminary investigations reveal that Calvin was deployed alone, something that raises concerns about Samorai security protective services.

He reveals that efforts are underway to trace and recover the stolen gun and apprehend the unknown assailants.
