The leadership in Kalungu District has called on the Uganda People’s Defence Forces to investigate the circumstances under which two fishermen, Willy Zziwa, 21, and Ziyad Nsereko, 23, died earlier this month.
There are conflicting reports around their deaths. Whereas there are reports that the duo drowned as they tried to get away from soldiers attached to the Fisheries Protection Unit (PPU) on Lake Victoria who were pursuing them, some quarters claim that they were killed and their bodies dumped in the waters.
This is not the first time that political leaders have called for investigations into the conduct of the soldiers deployed on lakes Victoria and Kyoga.
