The UPDF recruitment team intercepted 13 people at Kakindu Stadium in Jinja South Division during the army's recruitment exercise, according to Brig Gen Peter Gaitano Emola, the Busoga recruitment overseer. He said the suspects used forged applicant cards bearing the names of screened applicants who had not turned up, and that they were handed to police for questioning.
