Tororo. Police has put the border points at Busia and Malaba in eastern Uganda under tight security ahead of the New Year festivities in order to counter any security threats from the Somali extremists, the al-Shabaab.
The Bukedi regional police spokesperson, Mr Michaeal Odongo, said police has increased deployment in collaboration with other security agencies to handle any security threat.
“Police and other security agencies will not take any threats for granted. These border points have been put under tight surveillance. People should not just leave it for the police alone but work closely with security organs and report any strange people who may take advantage of this season to cause havoc,” Mr Odongo said.
He urged owners of entertainment places to put up security measures to check wrong doers.
“Police will be moving from place to place during its operations to monitor such places,” he said.
Mr Odongo warned people against burning tyres as a sign of ushering in the New Year, saying it paralyses traffic and is itself part of insecurity.
