Minister Engola’s in-laws and other mourners met an accident as they were returning from the burial of the minister at Ayago Murchison Fall Park in Nwoya District.

Engola was buried at his ancestral home at Awangi village, Icema sub-county in Oyam District on Saturday. The Minister who was killed on 2nd May by his body guard was married to Joyce who hails from Arua district .

The MP Ayivu East Division, Mr Geoffrey Feta, said: “We lost two occupants of a tipper lorry. Two critical cases have been referred to Gulu and one is already in transit but on oxygen. Referring the survivors to Arua Regional Referral Hospital would be tricky since they may not make it to Arua due to bad road conditions and distance involved.”

The deceased in-laws have been identified as Dinah Tiperu Afayoa(a woman) and Deyia (a boy) both residents of Oluko ward, Ayivu East Division in Arua City, the same place Joyce Engola hails from.

The bodies have been transferred to Anaka hospital  mortuary for postmortem.
