A meeting of Lango cultural leaders was dramatically interrupted when a clan leader pulled a pistol on colleagues after being asked to leave.
Ambassador Dickson Ogwang Okul was eventually disarmed by police and taken to Lira Central Police Station to record a statement.
The meeting, organized to prepare for the Ateker Festival in Soroti, had excluded individuals involved in a leadership wrangle to avoid conflict.
As Eddy Olwa reports, tensions boiled over when Ogwang appeared in the middle of the meeting.
