The Kyotera District Police Commander, Musa Kayongo has lost
his pistol to unidentified thugs. The incident occurred last week on Thursday
night at Bwasa Village in Kalisizo Town council. According to information
obtained by our reporter, two armed thugs donning military uniform stopped
Kayongo's private car at around 3am claiming to be operatives from the Special
Forces Command.
They reportedly persuaded Kayongo to surrender his pistol to
help them in their operation since President YoweriMuseveni was expected in
Kyotera the following day. According to Kayongo, the thugs introduced
themselves and presented their identity cards, which gave him confidence to
surrender his firearm thinking they were genuine operatives.
He however, says after surrendering his pistol, the thugs
disappeared mysteriously leaving him stranded. Kayongo reported that incident
Kalisizo police station where he recorded a statement. LameckKigozi, the Masaka
Region Police Spokesperson has confirmed the incident, saying they are still
handling the matter at an administrative level.
According
to Kigozi, they are still questioning Kayongo to get more facts to aid the
ongoing investigations. No suspect has been arrested in connection to the
incident. His account has left detectives wondering how a senior officer would
surrender his gun to unknown people.
