Comic politician Muhammad Ssegirinya has threatened to sue OC of Mulago Police Station, a one Wakisaada for punching him following his arrest on Sunday, as he protested over KCCA’s negligence on setting up good drainage channels in Kawempe division.
Through his lawyers of Muwada and Company Advocates, Ssegirinya claims he was unlawfully punched by Wakisaada while in the police cells.
He now wants Shs1.4b as compensation for the physical and psychological torture and trauma inflicted on him.
part of the statement reads thus; “Our client was physically heavily boxed by a uniformed three police officer and his heavy well practised fist landed on the chest and head of our client while handcuffed within the premises officially used by Uganda Police Force as Mulago Police Station.”
The statement adds that “the actions and omissions of the police officer were criminal, actionable and a grave violation of the fundamental human rights. Such treatment was illegal, criminal, degrading, and inhumane and caused our client psychological and emotional torture, stress and embarrassment as a public leader.”
