In Hoima

The Hoima District Deputy Internal Security Officer (DISO) James Musumba was attacked by the iron bar hit men over the weekend at night.
Musumba was reportedly attacked by the criminals when he was going back home in Kijungu, Hoima Municipality.

He sustained severe head and elbow injuries. He is now admitted at the Hoima Hospital Intensive Care Unit.

It is alleged that number of people in Hoima have been killed and others hospitalized after attacks by suspected iron bar hit men since beginning of the year.

Residents have been blaming the unchecked criminality on laxity by security, until now that a security officer has fallen victim too.

According to Christopher Katumba, the Hoima district police commander (DPC), the assailants used blunt and sharp objects to hurt the victim, leaving him unconscious. The thugs also robbed the DISO of money and his mobile phone.

It was however not immediately clear from the DPC if the victim had his gun at the time or whether it was taken.

DPC Katumba said the matter is being investigated and the hunt for suspects continues.
