Incident of Malicious Damage of Motor Vehicle and Shooting in Katwe:
| The Territorial Police at Katwe is actively investigating a distressing incident involving Malicious Damage of Motor Vehicle No. UBK 123C, owned by Mr. Andrew Mukasa, commonly known as Bajjo. This incident occurred on the 7th of November 2023, at approximately 6:00 PM, within the Kirudu zone, Luwafu Parish, Makindye Division, in Kampala, at a car washing facility owned by Mr. Bajjo.
The assailants, led by an individual known as Mugwanya Patrick, who goes by the alias "Alien Skin," allegedly attempted to assault Mr. Bajjo. Fortunately, Mr. Bajjo was able to defend himself using pepper spray. During their escape, his car was damaged in a collision. A confrontation arose between the security guard, Mr. Okalebo Vincent, from Caltec Security Company, and Alien Skin's group, which resulted in the guard discharging his firearm, causing damage to the vehicle.
The Police have taken prompt action, arresting one individual, Mr. Ibra Kabadia, and the security guard, as part of our ongoing investigation into the incident of malicious damage and the shooting.
Regrettably, Alien Skin, the musician known as Mugwanya Patrick, managed to evade capture during the Police intervention. We are actively pursuing his arrest, as well as the apprehension of his associates, to hold them accountable for the damage they caused to the vehicles at the car washing facility.
We strongly urge Mugwanya Patrick and his associates to refrain from using violence and creating disturbances that disrupt the peace of others.
Further details on this matter are under investigation, and we will continue to provide updates as they become available.
Deputy Public Relations officer for Kampala Metropolitan Police.
