Paul Bishop Drileba, Arua district acting health officer, has been killed by a mob in Ajia sub-county, Arua district, over land wrangles.
However, Drileba had reportedly gone to survey his land in Ojibari village early Saturday at around 9 am, which he purchased in September. He was accompanied by seven other people, including a surveyor, to fix mark stones.
As soon as they started surveying, they were surrounded by a mob of over 100 people armed with pangas, arrows, and bows.

According to Arua resident district commissioner (RDC) Swaib Toko, the angry mob started cutting Drileba and the surveyor with pangas as the others fled. He added that Drileba was cut on the head, back, and neck until he died.
At the same time, the surveyor whose name could not readily be established escaped with injuries together with his machine to a nearby trading centre.
In conclusion, the body of Drileba was taken to the Arua regional referral hospital for a postmortem. Information URN obtained from Ajia indicates that all the occupants of Ojibari village have since fled with their animals and property after the incident.
