Machetes started swinging in Yumbe District when political beef turned bloody at a campaign rally involving Karimu Musa. The drama popped off in Tuliki Village right before the big vote when supporters of incumbent Onzima Godfrey showed up with posters. A rival squad allegedly attacked them using sticks and sharp blades.

Authorities confirmed that five peasant farmers from the Aringa community got hurt during the scuffle. The victims were listed as Abdul Hamid Nuru, Chandiga Adinan, Taban Yasin, Manager Jawad, and Yope Said. Officers recorded statements and gave them forms for medical checks.

Law enforcement arrested Andruga Swadick, who acts as the LC1 Chairperson of Abiriirua Village, to help with the investigation at Yumbe Central Police Station. SP Collins Asea condemned the mess and warned that anyone inciting trouble would face serious legal consequences.

This fight adds to rising tension in the area after similar clashes happened in Madi-Okollo and Nebbi Municipality. Officials keep begging everyone to chill out as the high-stakes election draws near.
