The president of Uganda, Yoweri Museveni on Tiesday night gave a detailed account on the terrorists stabilising the country’s security and peace.
On Tursday morning, two boda boda motorists blew themselves up, one near the IGG office and the other near CPS. At about 10:30hours, CMI/Police squads managing to injure and capture the third terrorist in the area of Katooke, Bwaise with his bomb.
Museveni in his statement revealed that the captured terrorist later, died “but gave us very good information before dying”. “His name is Musa Mudasiri. The bomber of CPS was by the names of Mansoor Uthman and the one of the IGG office is by the names of Wanjusi Abdallah”. he added
Miseveni revealed that the bombers were also part of the ADF group that attacked Gen. Katumba in June.
“As I told the country before, by attacking Gen. Katumba, these terrorists, exposed themselves at a time when our security (anti-crime) infrastructure has improved, compared to what it was in 2018 when I made the speech to Parliament”. he said.
Since the attack on Gen. Katumba, Musevini outlined the achievements made;
(i) Seven (7) have been killed while resisting arrest;
(ii) Eighty one (81) have been arrested; and
(iii) 3 have been killed by the bombs they were carrying.
“The two of today (Tuesday)were, therefore, running away from being arrested. We have been hunting for them since the Katumba incident”. he said
Those killed since the Katumba incident are:
1. Nsubuga Mohammed;
2. Manihaji;
3. Moses Mudasiri (the one of today);
4. Master Lubwama;
5. Juma Saidi;
6. Serwadda Juma; and
7. Amin Kawawa Mustapha.
According to the President, three people died in yesterday’s incident apart from the 3 suicide bombers. The injured were 36.
Museveni advised the pubic to be vigilant, check people at entry points to bus parks, hotels, churches, mosques, markets, etc.
“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 said.
adding that they have exposed themselves when security is more ready for urban terrorism after defeat of rural terrorism in 2007 in the Semliki National Park.
“I am referring to the dead terrorists as manipulated victims of confusion. The real pigs are people like Nsubuga, the so called Sheikh that confused young people at Lweza. If blowing oneself up will send one to Jaanaa, let him blow himself up as an example instead of manipulating young children”. he said.
Miseveni revealed that three (3) IED (Improvised Explosive Devices) were recovered including the one of yesterday.
“The terrorists invited us and we are coming for them”. Museveni threatened.
