Chaotic scenes erupted at the Arua Refugee Centre when refugees took on World Vision staff over insufficient food served to them forcing security to swing in.

They arrested seven in Omugo refugee settlement, Arua district in connection to the fight.

The refugees beat up World Vision workers after failing to get enough food and disarmed a police officer who was manning the distribution of food.

West Nile police spokesperson Josephine Angucia revealed that Arua Central police station had to deploy heavily to recover the gun from the angry refugees.
