UPDF sergeant opens fire on his superior


A Ugandan army (UPDF) sergeant, drunk, opened fire on his superior, Major Ukoya Gabriel, and three other people on the evening of Saturday, November 1, 2025, in Zale, about 4 kilometers east of the town of Mahagi.


According to initial reports, the sergeant accused his superior of having an affair with his mistress, who was among the victims.

A Ugandan soldier shot and killed his two superiors and two women at point-blank range on Saturday, November 1, 2025, near the Zale airfield, located 4 kilometers from the center of Mahagi, in the Aru territory of Ituri province.


According to our sources, the incident began with a heated argument between two Ugandan army (UPDF) soldiers over a young woman in a bar. One of them, intoxicated, drew his weapon and opened fire, shooting those present at close range.


Two military officers, Major Okoya Gabriel and Sergeant Matthieu Ovuni, as well as two Congolese women, died in the shooting, according to our confidant sources.


All our confidants in Mahagi confirmed the information, stating that the bodies of the two victims were repatriated to Uganda after an investigation by security services and that the perpetrator, a sergeant, fled after the incident but later apprehended by the authorities and remained in custody.
