However, Police spokesperson Emillian Kayima distanced the force from such inhuman acts noting that none of their men was involved or near the operation.

They are not police officers and we are looking for them,Kayima said.

The deputy army spokesperson, Lt.Col. Deo Akiiki too, though in not many words distanced the army from the men who have now become a ball as everyone is kicking them away from themselves.

We are following up that incident as security agencies,Lt.Col.Akiiki told www.mknewslink.com

A number of similar incidents have in the past where plain clothed security operatives have arrested suspects in broad day light just like the incident near Christ the King.

In November 2017, plain clothed security operatives pounced on Ahmed Ssenfuka, a suspect n Kaweesi murder that had been bailed by Nakawa court, squeezed him in a premio car and drove off with him in broad day light.
