Prosecution further claims that the duo robbed Kasimba of an AK47 gun with rounds of ammunitions.
As Court preceded, there was a standoff between police and opposition kingpin, Kizza Besigye and the Leader of Opposition in Parliament Winnie Kiiza when police denied them access. Ms. Kizza is the Kasese district woman legislator and recently was appointed on the steering committee charged with overseeing the affairs of Rwenzururu in the absence of Mr. Mumbere.
Mumbere was arrested after security forces attacked and burnt his palace in an operation that claimed 60 royal guards and 14 police officers. 136 royal guards were arrested and are being detained at different points.
