The Territorial Police in North West Nile Region and Adjuman CPS, have put up a serious manhunt, for a one ASP Acaye Moses, a police officer attached to Alebtong district as the OC station, for a revenge attack and murder by shooting of Omona Simon, a 24 year old, peasant of Lulayi village, on the 20.02.2024 at around 11am.

 

The suspect who left his station with a pistol reported his presence at Apaa Police Station, on the 20.02.2024, to follow-up investigations into the murder of his brother, Opio Emmanuel, by a mob on the 10.02.2024.

He was among a team that responded to Apaa trading centre, after one of the suspects was sighted. Upon reaching the trading centre, he drew his pistol and shot at the victim, who was rushed to a nearby clinic, where he died from.

 

According to SCP Fred Enanga, a serious manhunt for the suspect is ongoing after he went and handed over the pistol for safe custody, at Lacor Hospital Police Post on the 24.02.2022 and disappeared.

“The alleged perpetrator is a police officer, who swore to serve and protect people from harm. It is therefore, unfortunate that he abandoned his sworn oath to uphold the sanctity of life, when he fatally wounded the victim. His actions constitute a gross abuse of police authority, for use of excessive force, which resulted into a senseless murder of Omona Simon,” says Enanga in a statement dated today 26th February, 2024.

Enanga says police is seriously hunting for the suspect to be arrested and charged with murder and theft of a police  motorcycle.
