He told police that waylaid him in his uncle's backyard that he was going to attack, Johnson Ochira and his entire family over a land feud that has gone on for five years.
He recorded a statement at Gulu Central Police Station this morning, saying Ochira keeps threatening his life over the disputed piece of land.
He urged members of the public to report threats to their lives to police instead of taking the law into their hands.
It is the third case of attempted arson being recorded in Gulu this month.
Records at Gulu central Police station indicate that most criminal offenses taken to court emanate from land matters that have plagued the region since internally displaced persons returned home in 2009.
