Arua: Police in Ayivu West Division, Arua City, are investigating a murder case that occurred on Thursday in Ewanyapa Cell, Komite Ward.

According to police reports, on the night of February 12, 2025, Izizing and his friends were enjoying leisure time at High Five Club.

In an attempt to help the victim, Izizing and his friends intervened and managed to rescue the woman. They also managed to apprehend one of the suspected robbers, whom they locked inside the club, while the rest of the gang fled.
However, according to Asea, the gang regrouped and returned shortly after, launching an attack on the club by pelting stones in retaliation.

At around 6:50 AM, locals discovered his lifeless body and immediately reported it to the LCI chairperson, who then alerted the police.
