Police Constable Shot in the Chest by a CMI Corporal Soldier, is in ICU.

By Editor

 




Police constable Robert Mukebezi who was shot on Saturday by an army officer in Kampala a few days ago, is currently admitted in the intensive care unit (ICU) at UMC Victoria hospital after his leg got amputated.




Mukebezi was allegedly shot while on duty by an ununiformed Uganda People’s Defense Forces (UPDF) officer, corporal Babangida Bashir Mango attached to the Chieftaincy of Military Intelligence (CMI) headquarters in Mbuya. He was shot as he attempted to tow a military vehicle, registration number H4DF 1391 that had veered off the road and rammed into a signpost at Kobil petrol station along Ntinda-Kiwatule road.


Initial reports indicated that during the process of towing the accident motor vehicle to Kira road police for further inspection, a military response team also approached the scene in another vehicle, registration number H4DF 922 commanded by Maj Alpha Okua insisting that the vehicle instead be towed to CMI headquarters in Mbuya. It’s in this ensuing scuffle that Babangida allegedly drew out his gun and shot at the towing truck, injuring Mukebezi who was seated in the co-drivers seat. 


In the aftermath, Mukebezi was taken to Mulago National Referral hospital but later transferred to UMC Victoria hospital in Bukoto where the medical team concluded that he needed to have his leg amputated as the only option left in saving his life. The medical team said that the bullets shattered his major artery, a problem that could not be fixed with open surgery, or less-invasive options. The amputation was completed on Tuesday.


Mukebezi’s colleagues in police who were found outside the hospital Wednesday said they were informed by the doctors that he was transferred to the ICU after his condition deteriorated.


Bukooli Central MP Solomon Ssirwany told journalists after visiting Mukebezi that he was assured by the hospital administration that his situation was slowly improving. He said the matter which has caught the eyes of the speaker Jacob Oulanyah, will be raised in the parliament, and a clear explanation from the UPDF will be needed.


A close friend to the family, who spoke on condition of anonymity, said Mukebezi wouldn’t have lost his leg if he’d been given immediate medical response upon reaching Mulago hospital, where he spent more than six hours without any medical attention.   


“The doctors did not pay much attention to him at casualty until we got information about the incident from his supervisor. By the time we reached the hospital and later transferred him to UMC Victoria hospital, it was too late to save his leg,” he said. 


He is calling upon human rights defenders in the country to rise up against the matter for the justice of the victim and his family. Military police, CMI and Police are reportedly and surprisingly still in vain hunting for Maj Alfa Okua and his three accomplices on charges of attempted murder and obstruction of an officer on lawful duty. The suspect reportedly abandoned his gun at Bukasa village., Muyenga.

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...

Here is Why Our Utterances For Praying Jesus And God To Come Liberate Ugandans, May Be Misplaced. This Phrase is like inform of a Letter To Some Categorized Section Of Ugandans.

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 ...
