The Uganda People’s Defence Force (UPDF) have arrested five impersonators during the ongoing recruitment exercise in Jinja City, and 10 others have been handed over to police in Adjumani District in Northern Uganda.
The recruitment commander for Busoga sub-region, Brig Chris Ogwal, said the five applicants were arrested for allegedly “breaching the system”.
Brig Ogwal said they received many applicants and each district has a specific number of potential UPDF conscripts, with Jinja City and Jinja District being allocated 90 slots and the whole Busoga sub-region being 700.
