"We will subject the food consumed by the two personnel for analysis with the hope of ruling out the possibility of poisoning. This will guide our next course ot action. ", Mike Longole Karamoja Police Spokesperson told Nile Post

"We have also warned our officers against buying food items from untrusted sources," Longole added. Police say the victims are currently recovering from the poisoning and are in stable condition.
