Following a viral video circulating on social media showing a private security guard being assaulted by two male individuals, the territorial Police in Busoga North have arrested one suspect in connection with the incident. The suspect has been identified as Warom Joseph, a supervisor with Securex Private Security Company. He is alleged to have assaulted Ayub Mbadi, also a security guard employed by Securex and deployed at Kidera Sugar Works in Buyende District. Preliminary investigations indicate that the victim had been apprehended by the suspect, who accused him of stealing scrap materials from the sugar factory. It was during this incident that the alleged assault occurred. Warom Joseph is currently in Police custody and will be charged with assault as investigations into the circumstances surrounding the incident continue. We reiterate that allegations of wrongdoing should be handled through lawful procedures and that no individual should take the law into their own hands.

// @johnson_mugwe "As part of our continued efforts to combat the theft of livestock and curb the illegal trade in animal products in the Bukedi South Region, Police yesterday conducted an intelligence-led operation targeting butcheries suspected of dealing in stolen animals and selling meat without the required inspection stamps. The operation followed a series of investigations in which Police canine teams, using sniffer dogs, had identified and led investigators to several butcheries suspected to be handling meat from stolen animals. However, some operators reportedly abandoned their premises upon noticing the presence of the canine teams, making it difficult for investigators to apprehend them.
