Orungo Political clashes leave One  Dead, Three Injured in Over night shooting.

One person has been confirmed dead and three others sustained gunshot injuries following a violent confrontation at a trading centre in Ogongora Sub-county, Amuria District, on Tuesday night.

The deceased has been identified as Saidi Eteru, a resident of Orungo, Aridi, and an alleged agent of National Resistance Movement (NRM) flag bearer Teddy Anyuk.

Eteru was reportedly shot dead during clashes that erupted between rival political supporters.

According to eyewitnesses, the violence followed a prolonged confrontation between supporters of General Jeje Odongo and those backing Teddy Anyuk.

Tensions allegedly began when music systems from both political camps were played simultaneously at the trading centre, leading to heated verbal exchanges that later escalated into physical fights.

Residents say police were alerted but delayed in responding to the scene. As the situation worsened, General Jeje Odongo’s security detail was reportedly contacted to intervene. During the tense standoff, gunshots were fired, resulting in fatal and non-fatal injuries.

Amuria Resident District Commissioner (RDC) Paul Eseru confirmed the incident, stating that Saidi Eteru died from bullet wounds.

He added that three other individuals were injured and are currently receiving treatment for gunshot wounds at a hospital whose name was not immediately disclosed.
