Police in Adjumani have launched a serious manhunt for Assistant Superintendent of Police (ASP) Acaye Moses, a police officer attached to Alebtong District as the OC station, for fatally shooting Omona Simon, a 24-year-old peasant from Lulayi village. The incident occurred on February 20 at around 11 a.m.

According to the police, the officer left his workstation with a pistol on the fateful day to follow up on investigations into the murder of his brother, Opio Emmanuel, by a mob on February 10.

“He was part of a team that responded to Apaa trading centre after one of the suspects was sighted,” said the police.
