Soldiers from the Uganda People’s Defence Forces have rounded a village in Apac district and collected all long horned cattle saying they belong to them.
Mr Charles Akora, who hails from Taroeali, Ibuje Sub-County, telephoned Eagle Online saying the army men surrounded the village in the wee hours of today morning and said villagers had become incessant in stealing long horned cows from the nearby government owned Maruzi farm.
“Nobody surely knows what is going on as no government official is here to explain. What I can confirm is that any long horned Ankole cow is being taken without verification” Mr Akora said.
Mr Akora revealed that the number of cows so far collected were approximately 110.
Telephone calls to army spokesperson, Lt Col Paddy Ankunda are yet to be answered but Eagle Online will keep bringing you the latest on the story as it develops.
