Mugging NRM Voters
A chilling video showing a gang of thugs robbing and assaulting innocent voters during the NRM parliamentary primaries on July 17, 2025, in Nsambya, Kampala, caused outrage across social media causing police to swing into action.
The shocking footage, widely shared online, captured a violent robbery in broad daylight. Police at Kabalagala immediately swung into action after receiving reports of the incident arresting of eight suspects on the day of the attack.
But the hunt was far from over. Using CCTV footage and intelligence from the initial arrests, police launched an operation on July 20, 2025, that netted ten more suspects. Among those arrested are Were Phillip, Lubwama Sharif, Wasike Patrick, Ngobi Brian, Mugisha Shafiq, Rashid Sebisaba, Ochwo Emmanuel, Kakooza Abdul Rakim, Ominga Brian, and Katongole Meddy, also known as Baros.
This brings the total number of suspects in custody to 18. All have been charged with simple robbery and will soon appear in court.
