NAIROBI, March 23 (NNN-KBC) — Four people have died in a road accident in Tapaach area along the Moroto-Napak road in Uganda.
West Pokot County Commissioner Khaliff Abdullahi confirmed the accident, which occurred Saturday evening, stating that investigations are underway in collaboration with Ugandan authorities to determine the cause of the crash.
The identities of the victims have not been officially released as their families are yet to be notified.
