The police have put up a Shs20 million cash reward for any person who will provide credible information about the suspects implicated in the gun down of Richard Muhumuza and the attempted murder of city ‘pastor’ Aloysius Bugingo.
On January 2, 2024, unidentified assailants opened fire on ‘pastor’ Bugingo’s vehicle, registered as PRAIZ GOD, along Namungona, Rubaga, before swiftly escaping the scene on a motorcycle. Regrettably, his bodyguard, Muhumuza, succumbed and was confirmed dead upon arrival at the hospital.
Speaking at police headquarters, Fred Enanga, the police spokesperson, said the Directorate of Criminal Investigations (CID) headquarters in Kibuli has taken over investigations into the matter.
“We have composed a competent team that is investigating the matter at the Special Investigation Division. We have retrieved closed-circuit television (CCTV) footage from police and private cameras, a postmortem report, and a forensic and ballistic report that will be analysed, and a conclusive report will be filed,” he said.
As part of the investigations, police appealed to whoever has information that may lead to the identity and arrest of the suspects and the successful recovery of the killer weapon, the pistol, to pass it on to Special Investigation at CID headquarters in Kibuli Division.
“There is a substantial cash reward of Shs20 million that awaits any member of the public who can avail us of credible information that can lead to the arrest of the suspects and the recovery of killer weapons,” he said.
