An unidentified policeman is behind police bars over the shooting of a live bullet at the convoy of presidential candidate, Patrick Amuriat, on Wednesday in the western Kitagwenda district.
Amuriat later tweeted, “This was a calculated move to eliminate me and the man who had done it is not a police Officer but military man dressed into a Police Uniform.
