The District Chairman of Lira, Richard Okello-Orik, has gone into hiding after assaulting a 14-year-old.
The incident happened this afternoon at a restaurant near Adyel Children’s Playground after the suspect went to have a meal.
A source in the position of knowledge says that Orik did not just bump into the restaurant but rather that he has for some time been eyeing the early teenager working in the eatery.
According to the source, Orik had previously asked the little girl for a “mature meal”. However, the Kampala Gazette understands that the LCV boss was ignored until this afternoon, when he acted out of frustration. The matter (asault) has been registered at Lira West City Division, vide SD Ref 41/06/05/2024.
By press time, the police were looking for Orik.

In 2022, Orik abandoned office for weeks after a reported encounter with a teenager. Although the matter was finally settled behind closed doors, the defilement ghosts appear to be after Orik.
