Orientale. By Yahudu Kitunzi. On Tuesday, May 9 at around midday our joint security team responded to a bomb scare incident at Big-two Village in Busoba Parish, Mbale District. This was after a tip off…by one male adult who was grazing his livestock in the same locality,” Maj Oware said. Bomb experts cordoned off the scene before the unexploded hand grenade was taken away for further investigations. The joint team was able to recover a brand-new hand grenade… inside grass suspected to have been dropped or hidden a few days ago,” Maj Oware said. We thank the local leadership and residents for maintaining vigilance and cooperation,” he said. Maj Oware commended the residents for reporting the matter to security forces because the explosive could have landed in the wrong hands. He urged the public to be cautious of strange looking objects. However, Mr Juma Gudoi, a resident, said he suspects the grenade was planted two days ago by unknown people. This is dangerous to our lives and we need to be extra careful with such objects. We are happy that a resident saw the bomb before it exploded and also informed security personnel in time,”Mr Gudoi said.
If you find anything that appears to be an explosive device, do not touch it, leave it where it is and call the police. We will contact the appropriate agencies to properly dispose of the item.
