UPDF Basketball player shot dead following argument at fuel pump

Daniel Ogwang, a basketball player attached to UPDF Tomohawks was Friday morning shot dead at Gaz Petrol station in Mbuya.

It is reported that Ogwang who rides on a personal motorcycle had come to refuel, but while he waited for the pump attendants to serve him, another motorist in a vehicle came and was given priority.

A disappointed Ogwanga would then address the attendant seeking for answers as to why his urgency was under looked in favour of the other customer in a car.

It is at this point that the security officer attached to the fuel station opened fire and condemned him to death.
