Agago, Uganda |  THE INDEPENDENT |  The police in Kalongo Town council in Agago district on Monday fired teargas to disperse crowds that had gathered to listen to Forum for Democratic Change-  FDC party presidential candidate Patrick Oboi Amuriat.

Amuriat arrived in Kalongo Town council at about 6 pm accompanied by the District Woman Member of Parliament Judith Franka Akello. Their presence in the area attracted large crowds who wanted to listen to their campaign message. 

Amuriat told his supporters that Acholi Sub-region has suffered and deprived of development adding that he was the right man if voted as president to liberate the locals.

However less than five minutes into his speech, armed anti-riot police officers approached the venue and started firing teargas at the crowds.
