Bukedea police shot dead a teenage boy for allegedly violating the night-time curfew.
The deceased has been identified as Patrick Otimong, a resident of Kanyipe Village in Kolir Sub County and student of Sironko Senior Secondary School.
The officer found the deceased partying together with others at Kanyipe trading center on the orders of the village chairperson, Simon Okolong.
The chairperson allegedly ordered his residents to drink and dance overnight at will.
David Ongom Mudong, the East Kyoga Regional Police Spokesman, says Otimong was shot dead by Special Police Constable, Simon Okurut while enforcing the night time curfew together with others.
“As police, we condemn any act of unprofessional conduct of officers of using live ammunition against unarmed civilians but of course, we also do condemn provocation from the members of the public against police officers on lawful duty”, Ongom said.
