Pacific Hotel boss, Luigi Candia has denied claims by security operatives that guns were recovered from hotel room of Kyadondo East MP Kyagulanyi Sentamu aka Bobi Wine. He stated that the Police fabricated the story.
“Why did they break down 22 doors of the hotel on Monday night and found nothing? They came back on Tuesday morning for another search and found no gun. Why should Police lie that guns were recovered from the hotel rooms?” Candia asked.
He revealed that security operatives beat up people in the hotel rooms including his staff. He revealed that the search was done in presence of his staff.
“My staff told me the officers only found tablets of medicine and red clothes from the hotel room, but nothing like guns or ammunition”.
He stated that all visitors are checked before signing in and if one is found with firearms, the hotel security contacts the Police. He also wants Police to pay Shs80m in damages.
On the issue of the death of the Bobi Wine’s driver, Yasin Kavuma, he revealed that the driver was not shot at the hotel . He revealed that the car was driven to the hotel when the driver was bleeding and succumbed to the gunshot.
Yesterday, Bobi Wine was charged before Court Martial in Gulu. He faces charges of possession of fire arms and ammunition. SMG rifles and 35 bullets were allegedly recovered from his hotel room.
