Benon Karebere whose only claim to fame is a striking resemblance to President Yoweri Museveni – a man he says is his biological father has once again appealed for help after he was reportedly attacked by locals in Bulenga demanding for money from “State House.”
In an exclusive interview with Matooke Republic, Karebere narrated that the incident happened at around 7:30 pm after he closed his grocery shop.
“After I closed the shop, I went to the bathroom but my sister remained behind balancing books. This is when someone knocked on the door asking to see me,” he said.
Karebere’s sister called him out of the bathroom but he [Benon] refused arguing that when it clocks , his shop is closed. Instead, he ed the “visitor” to return the following morning.
As a man on a mission, the visitor simply rotated around the shop and sent a brick into Karebere’s head through the window causing serious injuries. Another brick caught his sister on the head as well.
The assailant kept shouting that he wants State House money since Museveni (the victim’s purported father) is the president and that they are “connected”.
The 41-year-old blames his attack on his “father” who he says abandoned him and has failed to give him land outside of Kampala where he can settle and start a new life.
“I have pleaded with them [Museveni’s handlers] to get me at least a plot of land where I can be buried when I die but up to today, nothing has been done. Does he want me to be killed here like Kirumira?” he asked.
According to Karebere, the people who attacked him are certainly his “father’s” enemies who want to paint the picture that they are tired of the government and are ready to do anything to anyone who has even the remotest connection to the first family.
He is now pleading with the government for protection and a resettlement to a place where he can start over if the president is unwilling to welcome him “home” as his son.
Karebere is counting on the last words from his mother who reportedly told him on her deathbed that President Museveni was his father. When you compare the two’s facial features, it is hard to dispute the rumour.
