The guards’ illegal operations affected the movement of vehicles which attracted Police and Military deployments in Mutungo to swing into action and arrested the soldiers, the statement says.
“UPDF condemns such behavior in the strongest terms. Such indiscipline shall never be tolerated as it jeopardizes the good working relationship between the two sister forces,” it adds.
