Preliminary reports from police findings say the driver of the truck, Mohamed Zuli was alone when the thugs climbed into the vehicle.
They began to drop assorted merchandise belonging to traders in Arua at Kuluva, Odianyadri, and Euata trading centers. From there, the friends of the thugs standing by the roadside picked up the loot.
The West Nile Region police spokesperson, Josephine Angucia says that they entered a case of theft of merchandise. She also revealed that they gunned down two suspects two months ago for pulling similar stunts.
In other discoveries, Dr. Alex Alidria, who happened to be on his way to Arua picked up some of the merchandise and delivered it to Arua CPS.
The police has now renewed its community policing drive to sensitize locals about the new wave of theft.
The military also got involved saying it intends to establish a military detach in Enzeva area. This area is also partly occupied by NFA. It intends to do this by the end of this year.

![[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.
