Reports from Arua where the slain MP had just been flown today afternoon following a special Parliamentary sitting to honor his life indicate that youth earlier stormed the airfield in Arua demanding the casket with the body of their dead MP so they could look at it and carry it on foot throughout the town.

The youth who overpowered the security made their way into the ambulance causing a standoff that rocked Arua for over an hour. When the body finally reached Abiriga’s home where mourners had been gathered since Friday evening when his car was showered with bullets in Kawanda, Wakiso district, chaotic scenes erupted as residents demanded answers from government as to who killed their MP and his brother.
