Kampala — Ugandan security has handed over to Kenyan authorities 15 men suspected to be members of the Saboat Land Defence Forces. They are believed to be rebels operating in the Mt. Elgon area and fighting the Kenyan government over a land dispute.
The men were picked up in Bukalasi in Bududa districts in a joint operation this month by Ugandan and Kenyan security after a wave of insecurity in the mountain area.
The UPDF 3rd Division spokesman, Capt. Henry Obbo, said people living on the border in Manafwa and Bududa districts had been vigilant in identifying the suspected rebels and reporting them to the authorities.
