There was drama at Kotido Police Station on Thursday (yesterday) when a local businessman stormed the station to file a complaint against Uganda Wildlife Authority-UWA for allowing rats to destroy his money. The man identified as Peter Lojok Longolangiro, paraded 5 rats at the station he accused of destroying Shs 396, 000 he had kept in a box.

He also tendered in damaged notes, which he says were eaten by the same rats as exhibits.

Longolangiro claims that the wild rats, which are part of the protected species by UWA, intruded into his house and entered the box where he had stored his cash.

Police referred Longolangiro to the Resident State Attorney for expert advice on the case.

Alphonse Ojangole, the Kotido District Police Commander told media he had never come across such a case in his 12- year of service with the Police Force.

wow ..now this is a good laugh

Mr man watch your back before they equally sue you for keeping your money at home and not guarding your home against rats.

Africans in nutcase

He can't take it anymore

tthe man is trying to be nice by not giving the rats jungle justice, don't worry now, police will do proper investigation and soon take the rat to court for their judgement.

The Aso Rock Ratty.....

Make we invite am come naija na maybe him fit catch d snake wey thief money for jamb office... Lol

Hahaha.

Smh.

Funny people and country.

crazy country, citizens and continent

Only a naturally intelligent person who is trying to scam the State can push a case this far, and trust me, in all fairness he will win. Those rats are declared a threatened specie on the road to extinction and are protected from being killed and he didnt kill them, so now he needs compensation and interest. In the absence of laws prohibiting home storage of values in form of legal tenders, he will win. That is if the case is not struck out as a desperate strategy of a nutcase.

wetin person no go see

bet come o, if you check am from a different angle him say e wan sue wildlife authorities, he could just be doing the right thing dah you know...

But wait o, is rat a wild animal or domestic animal？

He probably hasn't heard of banks.

Officers educate the wanton ignoramus.

After that give him 50 lashes and send him back home with his rats.

Simple.

I rise!

396000 UG shillings is over 30,000 Naira. Taking 1 Naira to be 10 UG Shillings.

Those rats murdered the man. Totally.

The rats will hire their own lawyer.They have rights and are assumed protected species
