Locals in East Acholi have today, 20th June 2022 called for immediate action to be put to end the indiscriminative killings by the armed Karimojong warriors that have claimed the lives of hundreds of locals in Acholi following a recent killing of a man aged 19 in Agago district at around 5:00 pm.
Komakech Geoffrey, a resident of Achol-pii lapono, Arum sub-county in Agago district expressed his sadness about the killings by the Karimojong warriors in the Acholi region by blaming the leaders for providing a blind eye to the matter.
Another local known as Okech Ben, a resident of Abim district said that the Acholi people are peaceful that do not kill, but in turn, are being killed by the foreigners on their land.
However, Mr. Emmanuel Okot, the Agago resident district commissioner admitted there are problems brought about by the influx of the Karimojong warriors that the president knows about.
He further urged locals to be their security at the moment.
According to Okot, his excellency has worked hard by providing more armed men to help curb the attack by the Karimojong warriors besides carrying out the disarmament in the Karimojong region.
