Hippo kills two young people in Rakai locale

Two young people in Rakai locale have passed on in a hippopotamus assault in Lake Kijjanebarola. The dead are Kaggwa Ssekiranda,16, and Godfrey Mugabi,17, the two occupants of Kirindamariga town in Lwanda sub-province.

The two were fishing in Lake Kijjanebarola when the hippo assaulted them. It is said that the monster warm blooded creature arose out of no place and hit their kayak driving it to invert. The quest for the bodies happened until Tuesday.

Joshua Kananura, the Rakai District Police Commander says that anglers and the police figured out how to recover the bodies and took them for posthumous prior to giving them over to the perished’s family members. Kananura ascribes the occurrence to the utilization of a little kayak, which was excessively simple for the goliath creature to crash in no time.

Emmanuel Mukasa, an angler in Kirundamariga says that they have spoke to Uganda Wildlife Authority to drive the hippos from the local area to no end. He says they are not able to lose someone else due to carelessness of UWA authorities since the hippos stray past the 200 meters into networks.

Aside from compromising the fishing exercises, the hippos have assaulted individuals’ harvests, which might cause food deficiencies in the town and the entire sub-district.

Vincent Kabanda, the Kibona Parish councilor says that few networks in the area are similarly impacted. He says that the hippo intrusion of nurseries and manors just as various assaults on people and creatures has been a typical worry among inhabitants around the lake for quite a long time.

He says they stray from their territories, undermine lives and annihilate crops, adding that endeavors to control them have flopped at this point killing them is a wrongdoing.

Charles Muliira, the Lwanda LC3 executive says stray hippos normally wander various networks yet they are sharpening individuals not to infringe on their natural surroundings. Bashir Hangi, the UWA representative says that the creature catch group will recognize the impacted networks and drive the creatures back to their natural surroundings.
