The family of Late Arnold Ainebyona Mugisha, owner of Hickory Bar who was Tuesday shot and killed by Moses Angoria, a security guard at Quality Supermarket in Naalya has suggested that government should recall all guns owned by private security firms.
Arnold succumbed to wounds he sustained as he was being rushed to Independent Hospital in Ntinda after a bullet shattered his jaws.
He in company of other two men who reportedly picked an argument with Supermarket guards belonging to Saracen company after a trolley they held scratched a customer’s car.
Eyewitnesses who flooded social media to narrate the genesis of the unfortunate incident allege that the deceased after quarreling with the guard went ahead to drive over the Askari’s leg who was identified as Awaze Babu.
The witnesses attributed Arnold’s death to arrogance and self entitlement.
After crushing Babu’s leg, his colleague rushed to the security booth, picked a gun- SAR and shot at a car in which Arnold was seated.
Realizing he had shot someone, Angoria attempted to flee the scene of crime only to be intercepted by an angry mob.
He was rescued by Uganda Police and is currently admitted at Mulago Hospital nursing multiple injuries.
From the time of Arnold’s demise, a large section of Ugandans has taken to social media to condemn his death but also to cautioning those with exaggerated sense of entitlement.
Many accuse the deceased of exhibiting poor behaviors before he was shot.
But those known to him insist that the Late was very calm.
Responding to the untimely death of their son family members who gathered at All Saints Church in Nakasero on Wednesday for a Funeral Service asked government to withdraw guns held by the private security firms.
The father, Mr. plan Mugisha blames Angoria for displaying recklessness by shooting his son.
He partly attributed the death to tribalism since Arnold was a Munyankole from Ntungamo District, a powerful tribe in the country.
Arnold will be laid to rest on Friday in his native home Rushenyi, Ntungamo.
