Police in Ukwala are investigating an incident where bodaboda operators allegedly burned down houses of Yenga Sub-location Assistant Chief Richard Ooko.
Speaking to K24 Digital on phone, Ooko said he had to
run for his dear life when the rowdy bodaboda operators stormed his home and torched
all his three houses to ashes.
“Nothing was rescued including the Huduma Number cards
which were to be collected by residents,” he added noting that no one was
hurt in the process.
Richard says all these happened because he denied them the
permit to hold disco at a night vigil of one of them due to government health
covid-19 protocols.
The Assistant Chief had to call the police when the bodaboda
operators demanded to have the disco in place prompting them to rush to the Assistant
Chief’s home in revenge.
Ugenya OCPD Willis Simba confirmed the incident stating that
they have arrested several suspects awaiting to be arraigned in court on Monday.
The OCPD says nobody is above the law and that no one should
take the law into his own hands.
“Several suspects have been held in Ukwala police
station and will be taken to court on Monday” Simba said.
