There was drama in Kanyanga village; Malera Sub County in Bukedea district this morning after a police sniffer dog arrested a man a day after his own bull was also stolen

Edison Okwalinga yesterday sought services of a police sniffer dog to trace for people who stole his bull on Sunday night and his neighbor Francis Ecirat was arrested in the process.

However this morning his brother Samson Okwalinga also hired the police dog after his cow and bull also went missing last night.

To the disbelief of the family and neighbors, the dog went and took hold of Okwalinga, making him the prime suspect in the theft of two animals.

According to Steven Okwaput the LC1 Chairman Kanyanga, Okwalinga could have stolen the animals of his brother as revenge for his lost bull.

Okwaput says that villagers wanted to lynch him but police prevailed over them and took him to Malera police post where he together with Ecirat who stole his bull on Sunday are currently detained.

The LC1 however wondered how the stolen animals disapered without trace in a short period of time adding that those arrested could be part of a bigger racket stealing livestock in Bukedea district.
