Lira High Court has sentenced a man in his early 30s to 140 years in prison for seven different counts of aggravated robbery.
Musa Okwi, a resident of Oribcan cell, Namasale sub county in Amolatar district was sentenced to 20 years for each count of the offense. He was convicted on his own plea of guilty when he appeared before Hon Justice Duncan Gaswaga, the Lira Resident Judge.
Court found out that on 11th August 2019 Okwi who was dressed in military attire and armed with a toy gun and in the company of other people who are still at large broke into seven different homes belonging to Kilimira Kaluku, Moses Oton, Lydia Okeng, Tracy Apio, James Onyanga, Victoria Adyedo and Moses Odongo all located in his neighborhood.
The judge, however, ordered that all the sentences shall run concurrently and that the period so far spent on remand shall be counted as part of the sentence.
