Heavily armed individuals invaded a gold mining site owned by a private investor in Ramba village, Rarieda sub-county, and stole property worth an unknown amount.
Amlight Resources Limited Company was left counting its losses after the invasion. The suspects are also reported to have stolen and destroyed some property.
The company's director, Amos Baraza Mabonga, said on Wednesday, August 28 that he had received information that his site had been attacked by thugs.
"This is not the first time my competitor has attacked and destroyed my property. I have lost property worth millions of shillings as a result of the unwarranted attacks. The first attack took place on January 25," said Mr Mabonga.
The investor claims that the first time his property was invaded by the hired thugs, two people lost their lives.
They accused unnamed authorities of being compromised and appealed to the government to intervene to ensure that justice and order prevail.
