Commander in Chief of the armed forces, President Yoweri Museveni has issued a statement about the twin suicide bombings that happened yesterday, one near the IGG office and the other near CPS. 3 people died in the incidents apart from the 3 suicide bombers. The injured are 36.
According to Museveni, the bomber at CPS has been identified as Mansoor Uthman and one of the IGG office is Wanjusi Abdallah.
“All these are part of the ADF group that attacked Gen. Katumba in June. The terrorists invited us and we are coming for them,” said Museveni.
The president revealed that CMI/Police squads injured and captured the third terrorist in the area of Katooke, Bwaise with his bomb. His name is Musa Mudasiri.
“He, later, died but gave us very good information before dying,” he said.
Museveni said that by attacking Gen. Katumba in June, the terrorists exposed themselves at a time when the security (anti-crime) infrastructure had improved, compared to what it was in 2018.
“Since the attack on Gen. Katumba, the following has been achieved; Seven (7) have been killed while resisting arrest; Eighty-one (81) have been arrested; and 3 have been killed by the bombs they were carrying. The 2 of today were, therefore, running away from being arrested,” said Museveni.
Since the Katumba incident, Museveni said they have been hunting for the group members.
Those who have been killed include; Nsubuga Mohammed, Manihaji, Moses Mudasiri, Master Lubwama, Juma Saidi, Serwadda Juma, and Amin Kawawa Mustapha.
He urged the public to be vigilant to help minimize damage.
“Therefore, the public should maintain vigilance of checking people at entry points to parks, churches, mosques, markets, etc,” he said.
“The Police will issue guidelines regarding securing the check-points because the check-points are protecting the buildings and the occupants. We are working with the neighbours to deal with those operating from outside,” he added.
