Ntoroko: Four suspected ADF rebels were on Wednesday shot dead in Ntoroko District on the border with DR Congo-TheSpy Uganda reports.

According to police and the head of security in the area, the four men refused to stop and identify themselves at a checkpoint, leading to a car chase.

Further, the Rwenzori West Regional Police Commander, Mr Lameck Kigozi, says the suspects tried to attack their officers after resisting arrest.

The Ntoroko Resident District Commissioner Mr Mishac Kawamara said the suspects were shot dead near Kisenge trading centre along Fort Portal -Bundibugyo road.

Mr Kawamara said they have been arresting some ADF rebels suspects coming to Uganda from DR Congo disguising as refugees.

He said bodies were taken to Fort Portal regional referral hospital for postmortem.
