Detectives probing the recent shooting of Pastor Aloysius Bugingo have reportedly gathered crucial clues related to the weapons used and potential suspects, according to the Police.
Bugingo, the lead pastor at House of Prayer Ministries, was attacked earlier this month in the Namungoona-Lubaga Division in Kampala, resulting in the death of his bodyguard, Richard Muhumuza.
The Police initiated investigations through the Kibuli-based Special Investigations Division (SID), announcing a 20-Million-Shillings bounty for information leading to the arrest of the suspects involved in the shooting.
During a weekly security press briefing at Police Headquarters Naguru on Monday, Police Spokesperson Fred Enanga disclosed that they have received information from the public, and the task team is actively pursuing leads before making any arrests.
Enanga emphasized the importance of verifying the credibility of the information before taking further action.
Forensic experts have reported that the same pistol used in the shooting of Pastor Bugingo was also employed in the killing of blogger Isam Olaxes (Isma Tusubira) in May of last year near his home in Kyanja, Nakawa Division, Kampala.
Despite more than seven months passing since the killing of Isma Tusubira, no breakthrough has been made, and no suspects have been apprehended in the case.
