The accident occurred on Wednesday as a group of inmates at Kabula prison facility in Lyantonde district were being transported for labour in Katovu parish, Lyantonde sub-county.
According to sources from the canine unit, ‘Sergeant Buster’ serves the entire district and has been overworked for over five years since he joined the police force in Lyantonde. In spite of the constant medical checkups, the dog is still ailing, which has hindered police investigations of certain crimes.
