Uganda has decided to cut off all exit areas on the border with Democratic Republic of Congo, in the wake of yesterday’s abduction of an American tourist and her Ugandan driver in Queen Elizabeth National park.
Matooke Republic has learnt that this is to beef up the ongoing joint security operation that is in line with the search for American tourist Kimbley Sue Endecoot, 35, and her Ugandan driver Paul Milenge, who were kidnapped yesterday at Queen Elizabeth National Park.
“We want to inform the public and all visitors in the country that the joint security teams have cut off all exit areas on the border between DRC and Uganda in search for the victims since the park is along the border,” deputy police spokesperson Polly Namaye said earlier today.
Namaye also revealed that Inspector General of Police, Martin Okoth Ochola has rushed to park to oversee the progress of the operation. Y
Yesterday, after news broke that Endeccot and Malenge had been kidnapped by armed goons while on an evening drive on Edward track between Katoke Gate and the Wilderness Camp in Kanungu district, it was proved that the kidnappers were again using the victims’ phone to demand for $500,000(shs1.8billion) before releasing the hostages.
