It continues, “Ziggy is in such a bad state that he lost nearly all his senses and now survives on God’s mercy. This is one of the very many saddening stories across the country sanctioned by the very people whose duty is to protect us.”

Police is yet to make an official statement about the incident and our efforts to reach out Kampala Metropolitan Spokesperson Luke Owoyesigire were unfruitful since our calls went unanswered.
