Another Suspected Suicide Bomber Arrested at Bwaise - Kampala, Bomb Recovered Before He Detonates It.

By Editor


Police said Tuesday that they arrested a suspected suicide bomber who allegedly tried to blow up Nansana Town in Central Uganda, moments after three of his colleagues (suicide bombers) killed at least three civilians in a twin bombing in the capital, Kampala.

Police spokesperson, Mr Fred Enanga said the force’s Counter-Terrorism (CT) operatives November 16 ‘‘quickly discovered another man only identified as Moze who intended to detonate a fourth jacket-bomb in Uganda.’’

“Although three suicide bombers died in the double bomb attacks, our CT response teams managed to pursue a fourth suicide bomb attacker and intercepted him at Bwaise. They shot and injured him, and immediately after, recovered an unexploded improvised explosive device at Nansana-Katooke B Wamala Ward, at his home, which the bomb squad, were going to neutralize.  We are now pursuing other members of the terror groups,” CP Enanga told journalists at the police headquarters in Naguru, Kampala.

Mr Enanga further expressed concern that ‘‘it is uneasy to eliminate the wave of domestic terrorism in Uganda because they use readily available materials to manufacture bombs."  

‘‘What they use to manufacture these explosives are things sold in our markets like nails, bicycle bearings, scrap shrapnel, chemicals, and phones used to make the bomb-jackets,’’ Mr Enanga added.

Police are now investigating a gang of Islamic State-linked Allied Democratic Forces (ADF) insurgents in the country- following repeated deadly attacks that have now claimed just over five lives.

‘‘Today’s incident shows that we have a serious role to play in fighting domestic terrorism. This danger is still around,’’ Mr Enanga warned as he urged vigilance. 

Five suicide bombers have been at the helm of the recent attacks targeting the East African nation of over 41million people. 

‘‘Forensic experts are still documenting the scene because we want to come up with the exact number of victims,’’ Mr Enanga said.

UGANDA ELECTORAL COMMISSION TO ELIMINATE NATIONAL IDENTIFICATION CARDS (IDs) FOR 2021 GENERAL ELECTIONS.

By Editor
The elimination of using National IDs (Ndagamuntu) for the 2021 elections should not have come as a surprise. One would be very NAIVE to think that Bobi Wine has not prepared for this in his Business Plan under the RISK section. It is public knowledge that our EC is not independent.  It is also public knowledge that Military Dictator Yoweri Museveni will never lose an election. What stunned us this morning is when we noticed that on social media, people were mocking Bobi with his "get your Ndagamuntu".  We are on record for saying to all Our readers that the National ID is like Apartheid in South Africa. Students of History would know how those IDs were being used to arrest people, deny them jobs, deny them basic services. Consequently, Bobi was not wrong and will never be wrong on the Ndagamuntu. Except the ones attacking him and mocking him forget that in Uganda, now, no National ID (Ndagamuntu), no service.  If you have not been denied registering your child i...

Last week of March, a friend told me to pray for Uganda.  I told him that he was an Idiot and we have prayed for too long and we are still hungry and sick and Jesus is not coming soon to liberate us. He then ignored the STUPID and sent me a picture we all now know.  It got me totally messed up.  This guy was telling me to pray then sends a picture of men bowing down in blood.  He might have meant guns but I blocked him because his utterances of praying for Uganda were misplaced. I unblocked him 3 weeks later and asked him about praying and assassinations.  His reply "eithrr prayers or guns or both". I hate violence with a passion.  So he is now blocked in like FOREVER. Do you feel safe?  Do not feel safe. Uganda regim...

Okello lost his wife 20 years ago and decided to only focus on their Mateo, Yona and Yosefu. 20 years later, Okello had 7 acres of land, a successful poultry business, and sinotrucks for hire. Early this year, Okello got a call telling him that one of his trucks knocked a boda boda. Okello decided to rush to see if he could sort it out before police became involved. Unfortunately, he never made it, as he was entering the main road, another trailer rammed into him and killed him instantly.   After Okello had been laid to rest, his sons sat down and divided the property amongst themselves. However, of late, Yosefu the last born has started complaining that he was cheated, and he wants to be given something else because most of the chicken in the chicken business died of a fever.   Can ...
