Two Kenyan fishermen were shot dead by Uganda Military Officers during an expedition on Lake Victoria.

The Monday incident took place in Sumba Island which is in Budalang'i, Busia County.

Bunyala OCPD Isaiah Mose said one fisherman succumbed on the spot while another died while undergoing treatment at Port Victoria Sub-county Hospital.

“One of the fishermen succumbed on the spot as the other one died while receiving treatment at Port Victoria Sub-County Hospital,” he said.

Mose said they received the news through their Coast Guard police who were on the scene as three others managed to be rescued.

The fishermen were said to have cast their net in the waters waiting for a catch when the Ugandan officers intercepted them.

“We received the news on the incident from our coast guard police where our fishermen were ambushed by the Ugandan army. They shot and killed two fishermen last night as a result of the confrontation. Our officers however managed to rescue three other fishermen,” Mose said.

The three other fishermen who had been rescued are still receiving treatment at the hospital. - CYNDY ALUOCH, The Star
