He noted that, Pte Bonny escaped from his work place and went to Ngora East village where he shot five people.

The UPDF soldier is still at large on the run and he’s being hunted by the police and UPDF to be brought to book for the atrocities he has committed.
Mawanda however noted that the UPDF condemns and regrets such uncalled for behavior and pledged commitment to persue the errant officer.
