Tuesday night, unidentified assailants opened fire on Pastor Aloysius Bujingo of the House of Prayer Ministries, killing Richard Muhumuza, the pastor’s bodyguard.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The event occurred at approximately 9 p.m. in Kampala at the Bawalakata crossroads in Namungoona, Lubaga Division.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Muhumuza was declared dead in Mulago Hospital, where Pr. Bujingo drove himself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Since several of the witnesses were in the area of the incident, they recounted what happened. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
One of the locals, Joseph Sseku, disclosed that the gunmen, who were on a motorbike, fired more than ten rounds at Bujingo’s car, aiming for the co-driver, as the pastor was nearing Justine Ssendikadiwa road to join Namugoona main road.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Pr. Bujingo was driving the vehicle, with Muhumuza sitting in the co-driver’s seat, according to Sseku.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Additionally, witnesses said that the gunmen shot into the air to frighten away bystanders as they ran towards the Bawalakata road following the event.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Namungoona-Kasubi LCI Executive Committee member Wilson Kato reported hearing noises that sounded like gunshots but mistook them for the sound of a Subaru car’s exhaust pipes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
On the other hand, word reached him that someone had been shot.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
A group of plain-clothed intelligence officers briefed Assistant Inspector General of Police Christopher Ddamulira on the incident during his visit to the location on Wednesday.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
