The police spokesperson Fred Enanga has informed the public that the Saturday night bombing will not detract the forces from strengthening security in Uganda with stricter enforcement of Covid 19 restrictions.
“We shall use the clues we have to trace the criminals. Security will also intensify efforts in crowded places like taxis parks, markets but public vigilance is also important,” Enanga said.
The police spokesperson made these remarks while acknowledging the fact that the forces have taken some hard lessons in the aftermath of a Kampala City bombing that left one person dead and three others severely injured.
“These are some hard lessons we take from the incident at Komamboga Ward that rotate around vigilance, observing rule of law, curfew provisions, and the degree of enforcement by our territorial commanders,” Enanga said.
Survivors from the fateful night narrated gory scenes of some human remains blasted in the air by the bomb fragments.
“A 20-year-old waitress identified as Emily Nyinaneza succumbed to severe wounds while the injured include Rose Nakitto, Annet Kiconco, and Peter Ssenyonga who were wounded critically as they were close to the source of the explosion,” added Enanga.
The explosion brought back horrific memories of the July 2010 Kampala twin bombings that massacred over 75 people.
