By Correspondent

Two enforcement officers from Uganda Revenue Authority (URA) attached to Arua customs have been airlifted to Kampala after being beaten into coma by residents of Yobuyia cell in Ayivu East constituency in Arua city.

Four days ago, a Congolese national was reportedly knocked by a URA vehicle and died on the spot near Andelizu trading centre in Vurra County in Arua district.

Shortly after the incident, residents poured at the scene, disarmed the two enforcement officers and beat them into coma. The driver of the URA Double Cabin truck sped off when he saw the swelling crowd approaching.
The deceased’s body is still lying at Vurra customs after his relatives refused to pick it.
