Four more people have been charged with participating in a plan to attack Gulu Central Police station and Onapit Army detach in 2016.
Otto Kenneth, Ojok Samuel, Okello Ajubu and Opiyo Charles have been charged before the general court Martial chaired by Lt Gen. Andrew Gutti. This brings the total number of those charged for the alleged attack to 25. They face 13 counts including, attempted murder and offences relating to security.
However one of the suspects has entered a plea on grounds that they are being tried in the wrong court. The accused explains that the army court has no powers or jurisdiction to try them because they are civilians with no military background.
Prosecution states that the accused with others still at large between May and June 2016, at Opit Army detach and Gulu CPS with malice unlawfully caused the death of Private Odong Alphonse Ojara, Okullo Haggai and injured many.
