The officers attached to this unit in Busoga region have taken up room originally meant for housing some Nalufenya Police Station personnel deployed in Kiira and Sezibwa region.

Enanga says the police leadership has already directed the Directorate of Logistics and Engineering to intervene and put up uniports for the officers affected.

At least 10 have been killed in Busoga region by shooting since 2012. Some of the prominent murders include Shia Muslim cleric Dr Abdul Qadir Muwaya and James Tito Okware, the Namayingo sub county LC III chairperson.  

22 suspects are on remand in Kirinya Prisons in connection with the murders.
