President Museveni has said the killers of Kamwokya LC chairman James Kakooza will pay heavily.
Kakooza, 54 the chairman for Kamwokya Church Zone, central division in Kampala was killed by two unknown assailants who were travelling on a boda boda on Saturday morning and hit him with a blunt object on the head from behind as he did his morning jog.
Commenting about the incident, Museveni condemned the killing, noting that those behind the same will pay heavily.
“The killers will pay like the idiotic ADFs have been paying. They thought it was a joke. It is a bad joke and gamble to kill Ugandans,” Museveni said in a statement on Wednesday.
Police on Monday said Kakooza’s killers used social media to target him.
“It so happens that the late Kakooza has been having this routine where he leaves his home as early as 5am to go for the routine jogging exercise. It was a pattern that had been mastered by the enemies,”Enanga said.
The police spokesperson said whereas at this rate police doesn’t know the motive of the killers, it is clear they took advantage of the daily routine by the deceased LC one chairman to follow and later corner him at the Centenary Park, in a place where he seemed to be alone without any other members of the public since it was early in the morning.
“When the victim woke up in the morning, he posted on one of the community social media platforms on how he was going out for road run. This alerted even the criminals even they are on that platform. What we have gathered is that he was trailed for a very good distance. The footages we have recovered show us the perpetrators trailing him.”
