At least three people have been killed while one sustained serious gunshot injuries when youth clashed with military officers in Ikwoto County.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to Honourable Silivia Imoya, a Member of the Transitional National Legislative Assembly (TNLA) representing Ikwoto County, the two groups clashed at a local drinking joint in Hai Turuju residential area.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Reliable sources told No.1 Citizen Daily Newspaper that area County Commissioner fled the scene after residents started baying for his blood. The source said the commissioner hid in a church compound after switching off his phone for fear of any repercussions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

She said the youth turned rowdy and took up their weapons before confronting the military officers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Local authorities said the incident happened at around midday on Sunday as worshippers returned home from churches.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A soldier was among those shot along two civilians. The deceased were identified as Lomudang Mark, a prison warden, a warden with the Ministry of Wildlife only identified as Lololo and unidentified woman.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Lololo was reportedly attacked by the marauding youth who shot him dead on the spot as he returned home from his farm.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mr. Lobuleng sustained serious gunshot injury and was rushed to Ishohe Hospital for medical treatment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
