BUNYANGABU – A devastating landslide triggered by a heavy downpour this afternoon has claimed the lives of four individuals in Bunyangabu. The victims include two adults and two pupils who were seeking shelter from the rain.
The deceased adults have been identified as Bira, aged 37, and Kabugo, aged 25. The young victims were Musoki, an 11-year-old P.2 pupil, and Mumbere, a 4-year-old baby class student.
