Tiumusiime notes that the UPDF officer hit him using a hammer he had picked from another suspect they had arrested.
Previously Stephen Namanya 30, a resident of Kyebaando Nansana in Wakiso district while riding a Bajaj boxer registration number UEK 739U in Kinuubi town Hoima Municipality was allegedly chased by security officers who were on Thursday enforcing the curfew directive.
