NAKASEKE, UGANDA: Two children have been killed in another bomb explosion in Ssegalye village, Semuto sub-county, Nakaseke district.
Police’s Chief Political Commissar AIGP Asan Kasingye confirmed the development in a tweet sent on Friday evening without providing particulars of the person who handed the explosive to the children.
The deceased, identified as Kiwuuwa Pathias, and Kiyingi Michael met their death after landing on the jackfruit-like explosive and started playing with it, killing them in an instant.
“A jackfruit-like explosive given to children in Ssegalye village, Semuto sub-county, Nakaseke district, instantly kills Kiwuuwa Pathias a physically handicapped child & Kiyingi Michael 14, who were playing together with another child Odong,” Kasingye tweeted on Friday. “Please report suspicious articles,” he argued the public.
