Message: [QUOTE="Munyaradzi Mafaro, post: 80318, member: 636"] A reverend in Abim District died after a hit-and-run involving a military vehicle. Reverend Bosco Achilla of the Abim Old Saints Anglican Church was riding his motorcycle to Sunday service in Akado, Kiru Town Council, when a speeding Uganda People's Defence Forces truck with the plate H4DF 2383 struck him. Witnesses said the vehicle did not stop, instead diverting onto a side road to flee the scene. Local resident Richard Okello confirmed the truck was overspeeding on the road from Abim Town toward Kiru before the crash. Another resident, Nancy Akongo, called the incident a devastating event that turned the festive season into a time of grief. Police sources at Abim Central Police Station confirmed the driver's arrest and said the vehicle was impounded there for investigation. Reverend Achilla's body was taken to Abim Hospital for a postmortem as his family makes burial arrangements. [/QUOTE]
