CLARIFICATION ON THE VIDEO OF AN ARREST IN KIHIHI
The man in civilian clothing seen being arrested in the circulating video is a retired Assistant Inspector of Police. He is not the OC CID Kanungu, as some social media posts suggest.
The arrest relates to an alleged assault on his biological sister, arising from a land dispute. Police investigated the matter and submitted the file to the Resident Senior State Attorney, who advised that the suspect and his wife be charged with attempted murder.
Two previous attempts to arrest him were unsuccessful after he reportedly evaded arrest.He was arrested yesterday at an anti-corruption rally organized by Hon Balaam Barugahara in Kihihi.
It is alleged that the retired officer resisted arrest and punched officers as they attempted to place him on a police pickup. Officers subsequently used force to subdue him and took him to the Central Police Station.
Yes, we acknowledge the concerns raised about the force shown in the video BUT the reported resistance is relevant to understanding the circumstances of the arrest and does not on its own, settle whether the force used was justified.
We shall look into the full circumstances, including the officers’ conduct and the conduct of the suspect.

Policemen thumping their own boss means a lot to mere citizens. A whole OC-CID was given a heavy blow in Kanungu for resisting arrest commanded by @BalaamBarugahar . Firimu ya Masai. @SpireJim @PoliceUg @mkituuma @Lukowoyesigyire @AKasingye @GabrielBuuleView quoted post on X
I observed people leaping to generalisations and missing the core point. The operation I mentioned is in respect to Executive Order No. 03 of 2023.
The order covers areas in West Nile, Northern Uganda, Karamoja, and Teso sub-regions.
The operation is ongoing, and this time round it extended to those doing trade along roadsides, those that buy from them, who in my wisdom should be notified so that they don’t fall prey to our operations only to feign ignorance.

Uganda Police spokesperson ACP Kituuma Rusoke warns that ongoing operations against the illegal charcoal trade will not spare anyone.
Security teams are actively raiding charcoal burners, roadside dealers, and motorists transporting even a single bag for domestic use. Citizens are strongly urged to switch to clean energy sources like gas and electricity.

On 24 and 25 September 2026, I held engagements with officers in the Greater Bushenyi, Rwenzori East and Rwenzori West Police Regions. I met officers in Greater Bushenyi in Bushenyi District and Rwenzori East in Kasese District, on 24 September, before concluding the engagements today in Fort Portal City.
Our discussions focused on how to align policing with communication in the social media and digital era, using online platforms effectively to inform the public and strengthen engagement within professional boundaries.

. @KawalaRachael "We would like to provide an update on the suspected murder of Matovu Moses, a musician with Afrigo Band, which occurred today, 24 September 2026, at Kibuli Depot in Makindye Division, Kampala District.
Preliminary investigations indicate that at approximately 5:30 a.m., the deceased went to the residence of his girlfriend. It is alleged that as he and the lady were leaving the residence, they were confronted by a male suspect who is also alleged to have previously been in a relationship with the same lady.
Following the arrest of the female who was in the company of the deceased, preliminary information indicates that the incident may have arisen from a physical altercation. However, the exact circumstances surrounding the confrontation and subsequent death are yet to be fully established.
The deceased sustained serious injuries and was rushed to Kibuli Hospital by a boda boda rider, where he later succumbed to his injuries.
The female suspect remains in police custody and is assisting detectives with the ongoing investigations. The male suspect has been positively identified and is believed to have fled the scene. Police are actively pursuing him to facilitate his arrest and assist in establishing the full circumstances surrounding the incident.
Investigators are continuing to verify the various accounts surrounding the incident, and further updates will be provided as more information becomes available.
We call upon members of the public to remain calm and allow investigators to conduct their work without interference. We assure the public that all necessary steps are being taken to apprehend the suspect and establish the facts of the matter.
We extend our sincere condolences to the family, friends, colleagues and fans of Matovu Moses during this difficult time.View quoted post on X
