The security guard attached to SGA Security Group had been guarding Advance Micro Smart Microfinance Office in Wobulenzi Town Council. An assailant shot him dead during the mid-hours of the day and later vanished into thin air after robbing the gun.
However, the police have now revealed that the assailant first disguised himself as a madman before he attacked.
“The assailant pretended as a lunatic with a bag of rubbish. However, the bag had a gun that he pulled out and shot the security guard dead. He later robbed the gun of the security guard and put the two guns in the back and vanished,” Enanga said.
He further explained that the assailant targeted this guard because of a Semi-Automatic Rifle(SAR) he possessed. This rifle is apparently a new and upgraded version of the ones most security guards have today.
Enanga said that criminals want these new rifles because the magazine can be expanded from just three bullets to 30 bullets. This, therefore, makes the new rifles ideal for criminals because they can carry more ammo.
He cautioned security guards to be more cautious while in possession of such weapons because they are now targets.
The development comes against the backdrop of attacks on security personnel for guns by unknown assailants.

![[dropcap]A[/dropcap] section of women in Bugongo parish and Nawangaiza parish in Nawandala Sub County, Iganga District have decried the near-impossible terms set for them to access GROW funds. They have now petitioned their woman member of parliament for Iganga Hon. Kauma Sauda Alibaawo to ask the government for revised terms and conditions. This is to enable them to benefit from the program. The disgruntled women accuse the implementers of the program of charging the money. They are also asking for their land titles and land agreements. They said that such properties are governed by their husbands. These, therefore want the government through their woman MP to intervene and revise the requirements for one to benefit. The women were on Wednesday at Namabwere primary school in Nawandala Sub County. They had gathered in their respective groups to receive over 300 chickens from Hon Alibaawo in her campaign to improve the livelihood of women in Iganga district. Each group was given 50 chicken as start-up capital in their journey to prosperity. Read what some leaders said; Ms Naigambi Lydia from Nawandala Trading Centre says, “They solicited money from us through opening bank accounts and depositing Shs80,000. They also asked for land titles and land agreements from us yet we don’t have such things. I was informed that I needed to have a business with a capital of Shs4m yet my capital was very small.” The chairperson Kisoboka Saving Group in Nawandala Ms. Nakagolo Faith said they were not able to join the program. This is given the many conditions attached. She also asked their woman MP to raise their concerns to the relevant offices. The MP condemned the mode of implementation of the program. She cited that it has turned to benefit the well-off class of women other than the intended group. She further asked the government to intervene saying the current strings attached to the programme are very tight to accommodate a common woman. GROW project is a Government of Uganda initiative that arose out of the need to respond to the needs of women entrepreneurs. This is especially those who want to grow their businesses, sustain their self-employment and create more jobs.
