Police from Kira road have arrested 20 supporters of the National Unity Platform(NUP) over illegal procession.

The protestors were on Thursday demonstrating state’s actions of not arresting Charles Olima alias Sipapa who attacked their headquarters at Kamwokya.

On 30th August and 15th September 2020 Sipapa with his men attacked NUP supporters at their offices at Contafrica zone Kamwokya II Parish Central Division in Kampala City.

Sipapa who was with two other colleagues, armed but clad in causal outfits, packed in the middle of the road and when road users asked them to clear the way, they responded by firing live bullets.

Now NUP supporters mobilized by Fred Nyanzi Sentamu(Bobi Wine’s brother) carried out a procession holding placards demanding for the arrest of Sipapa for the two incidents of shooting at their base.

According to Patrick Onyango, Kampala Metropolitan Police Spokesperson, the group blocked the Old Kira Road with logs, burning tyres to prevent any other road user to access it  which prompted Police to apprehend.

So far 20 people have been arrested and Onyango says that it’s believed that all tyres used in the demonstration were picked from Nyanzi’s building.

“According to intelligence reports, received more tyres are being ferried, fortunately, Police have resorted order in the area and business has returned to normal. We want to urge NUP supporters that the government has institutions where they can channel their grievances other than taking the law in their hands,” he said.

Onyango added that the suspects’ case files will be processed and submitted to the Director of Public Prosecutions for court processes.

However although police have arrested their colleagues, NUP supporters, have vowed to continue demonstrating until Sipapa is arrested.

On matters of arrested Sipapa, the spokesperson of the Criminal Investigation Department (CID), ASP Atwiine Charles said investigations are ongoing and if the truth is found he will be arrested.

“We have not yet seen evidence all that we have comes from the social media we have received any physical complaint that Sipapa did something wrong but since we get some incites from the internet we are investigating the matter,” he said.

After unveiling rocket mouthed journalist Bbwaddene Basajjamivule, the ruling National Resistance Movement party could yet again add to the number of it’s ever growing recruits from the Kamwokya based National Unity Paltform (NUP) opposition party. Unconfirmed reports coming in reveal that President Museveni chief fisherman Balaam Barugahara could yet again be on the verge of landing a very big fish for his master in the name of none other than the popular NUP singer Hillary Kiyaga aka Hilderman. The Mazongoto singer was set to challenge Trade Minister Amelia Kyambadde for the Mawokota MP seat before he reportedly chickened out in favor of a mega deal dangled before him by the cunning Museveni fixer Balaam. Hill Water It has been reported that the powerful Minister had over the last few months courted the events promoter Balaam in a bid to convince him plead with Hilderman to drop his parliamentary bid in exchange for some juicy offer from the ruling side. After a long period of playing hard to get, we have established that Hilderman, one of the few musicians that have stayed by Bobi Wine’s side through thin and thick has finally succumbed to Balaam’s trickery, giving up on his strong ally in the process. It’s also reported that Mr Kiyaga was set to meet the President in the past couple of days but the busy political schedule with the CEC and this week’s NRM primaries have continuously led to the deferral of the program. We have since learnt that a meeting between Hilderman and the President is on schedule before a mega announcement that would most certainly leave the NUP boss – Bobi Wine nursing a broken spine.
