Goons were ferried into the constituency and deployed at my remote village in Bukerere Ward with stones,clubs and pangas….these deadly goons had been instructions to kill Nambooze,” Nambooze stated in a Facebook post on Saturday.
“The residents of the area innocently organised a big meeting with a group of dancer comprising of the children under our care. Without noticing that I was surrounded I got up to address my people from the rooftop of my car. As soon as I stood up stones, stated landing with two of them hitting me on the left arm and the other on the neck. The next minutes the goons beat up my people, smashed my car screen. My team which was caught unaware moved to protect me and fight back. Well we have sustained injuries lost property but we shall not back out.”
Nambooze further added that in the course of the event, they managed to capture the head of the goons who told them about the alleged plan to use hooligans to fight NUP in Buganda region.This is not the first time Nambooze is surviving an attack from unknown people.
