President Yoweri Kaguta Museveni has reacted to Tuesday shooting in Kisaasi saying the UPDF soldier saved Gen. Katumba Wamala by shooting in air.
Museveni, added that Katumba’s bodyguard should have aimed at the “pigs” who don’t value by killing the former army commander’s daughter Brendah Nantongo and driver only known as Kayondo.
Katumba sustained injuries and was rushed to hospital to save his life.
“The pigs who do not value life shot at Gen. Katumba killed his daughter and driver and injured him. Condolences on the loss of the two Ugandans. I talked to Gen. Katumba twice on the phone. He is being well-managed.
I wish Gen. Katumba a quick recovery. The bodyguard should not have shot in the air. He should have shot to kill. We could be having a dead terrorist instead of scaring away the terrorists.
His shooting saved Gen. Katumba by scaring the criminals away.
However, killing one or more of the terrorists would have done the same and more,” Museveni said while passing on his message through social media platform Twitter.
