Origins
Dominic Okumu Savio (his birth name) was born in the village of Choorum, Kilak County, Amuru district, Northern Uganda[4] around 1975, the fourth son of Ronald Owiya and Alexy Acayo, two schoolteachers living in Paibona.[7][8] His parents, like most others in Acoliland at the time, gave him a false name and trained him to use it if ever he was abducted, to protect the rest of the family.
This name, Ongwen, means "born at the time of the white ant".[9] It was later to become his nom de guerre.[7]
