In a recent development concerning the ongoing tensions between the Lango Cultural Institution and the Lango Cultural Foundation, the North Kyoga Region Police have firmly urged all parties to respect the recent court ruling and maintain composure.

The call for calm comes in the wake of disturbing incidents, including the reported damage to vehicle Registration No. UBD 315D, a Toyota Highlander, on 1st November 2024.

Police Spokesperson SP Jimmy Patrick Okema expressed the necessity for supporters on both sides to remain calm while acknowledging the anticipation surrounding the court’s decision. He condemned the vandalism of the vehicle associated with No. II Yosam Odur Ebii, the Won Nyaci of Lango, stressing that the police have initiated a General Enquiry File at the Lira-City Central Police Station to investigate the incident and identify the responsible individuals.

In response to growing tensions, the North Kyoga police have deployed forces to the Lango Cultural Center and Got Ojwang in Otuke to prevent any unlawful actions.
SP Okema further indicated that the planned coronation event set for 2nd November 2024 will not proceed without a new court directive in place.

The police have encouraged the general public to remain calm and continue their daily activities as they implement comprehensive patrols, both motorized and on foot, throughout Lira City and the surrounding region.

The objective is to ensure that peace and security prevail during this tumultuous period.
In summary, the North Kyoga Region Police stand committed to maintaining order and upholding the law, urging all stakeholders to respect legal proceedings and contribute to a peaceful resolution of the ongoing dispute.
