KAMPALA, UGANDA: President Yoweri Museveni has said the culprits behind the killing of Kamwokya LCIII chairman James Kakooza will pay heavily for their sins.
Kakooza, 54, the LC Chairman of Kamwokya church zone was killed on Saturday morning by two unidentified men riding on a motorcycle who hit him with a blunt object on the head and later fled the scene.
Speaking of the incident on Wednesday, President Museveni condemned the killing and said the killers will pay “like the idiotic ADFs”.
“The killers of Kakooza will pay like the idiotic ADFs have been paying. They thought it was a joke. It is a bad joke and a gamble to kill Ugandans,” said Museveni.
On Monday, the police spokesperson CP Fred Enanga said Kakooza’s killers used social media to track his movements.
“The targeted attack shows how vulnerable one can be, when they go out very early, for lone jogging exercises. Just like the victim, many people publicize their daily routines and movements on social media platforms, which is dangerous, since it can make you a target for your enemies,” Enanga said.
“When the victim woke up in the morning, he posted on one of the community social media platforms on how he was going out for road run. This alerted even the criminals even they are on that platform. What we have gathered is that he was trailed for a very good distance. The footages we have recovered show us the perpetrators trailing him.”
Enanga said that so far one suspect has been arrested as efforts to trace for the other culprits involved in the targeted murder, are in place.
He added that the joint Task Team from CID, CI, CMI, ISO and KMP obtained good clues from various video footages, cyber and forensic evidence and accounts of witnesses.
