TWO IN-LAWS OF THE LATE MINISTER ENGOLA PERISH IN ACCIDENT
Two in-laws of the late Minister Charles Okello Engola Macodwogo yesterday perished in an accident at Ayago in Murchison Falls Park Nwoya District while returning from the burial ceremony.
The in-laws and other mourners were returning from the burial of the late Minister who was killed by his bodyguard on May 2.The deceased have been identified as Dinah Tiperu Afayoa and a boy who is commonly known as Deyia. They were residents of Ayibiri Cell in Oluko Ward, Ayivu East Division, Arua City.
The MP Ayivu East Division, Mr Geoffrey Feta, said: “We lost two occupants of a tipper lorry. Two critical cases have been referred to Gulu and one is already in transit but on oxygen.”
He added: “Referring the survivors to Arua Regional Referral Hospital would be tricky since they may not make it to Arua due to bad road conditions and distance involved.”
The bodies were transported to Anaka Hospital mortuary for post-mortem.
Three other mourners were in critical condition while five survivors have been transferred to Lacor Hospital.
