Kyadondo East Member of Parliament, Robert Kyagulanyi (Bobi Wine) who is in the United States has described the murder of Muhammad Kirumira as “very painful.”
“I just got the terrible news of the shooting of my good friend, and outspoken police officer, Muhammad Kirumira. Very sadly, that is the country we are living in. NO ONE IS SAFE. Our country is bleeding. This is very painful”.
The former Buyende district police commander (DPC) Muhammad Kirumira was shot dead alongside a female friend last evening near his home in Bulenga along Mityana road.
The maverick former police officer was reportedly returning from Resort Park on his way home when he was intercepted by two assailants riding on a motorcycle without lights at around 9.00pm.
The gunmen reportedly shot more than 10 bullets at the vehicle – a black Toyota Corona registration number UAJ 228V before fleeing from the scene. Good Samaritans removed Kirumira and the female occupant from the vehicle and tried to rush them to hospital to save their lives in vain.
The driver’s front door glass was shattered and the right hind tyre is also bearing gunshots and is deflated. The driver’s door is bearing at least 5 visible bullet scars.
