Extended Family
Tito Okello's son Henry Oryem Okello is the current State Minister for Foreign Affairs responsible for International Affairs. The former president's younger brother, Erisanweri Opira, was abducted from his home in Kitgum District by a rebel group, the Lord's Resistance Army (LRA), in 2002. His abduction was considered unusual as the LRA usually kidnaps teenagers and young people to turn into prospective soldiers or sex slaves. Opira was aged in his late seventies at the time of his abduction.
