Gorillas invade Teso farms

Gorillas from Uganda have invaded Asinge location in Teso district.

They have destroyed crops and attacked the residents. Chakol division officer Carol Omoto said the beasts were moving in large numbers and invaded the location this week.

He told the Saturday Nation at the Amagoro district headquarters on Friday that the animals had mauled two people, injuring them.

“The gorillas usually frequent the location every year when they know that food crops planted along the border are ready for harvesting,” Ms Omoto said.
