Colonel Charles Okello Engola, Uganda’s Minister of State for Labour, Employment and Industrial Relations, was on Tuesday shot dead by one of his military bodyguards.
Uganda police spokesman, Fred Enanga, said
this happened as the deceased was entering his vehicle to go to work.
“The shooting was done by one of the
minister’s bodyguards who also fired several shots at close range. The shooter
then fled the scene to the trading centre at Kyanja Ring Road where he entered
a salon and shot himself,” Enanga said.
The police spokesman said investigations had
commenced, adding: “We have dispatched crime scene experts who will use
advanced technology to determine what exactly the cause of the murder was.”
Eyewitnesses said the soldier complained
about non-payment of his wages and mistreatment before he shot himself,
according to a report.
