‘Tweeting Cop’ the Chief Political Commissar of Police, Assistant Inspector General of Police (AIGP) responded to the public uproar assuring that the police disciplinary courts of law were going to handle the matter.

Today morning, Afande Kasingye disclosed the identity of the officer as the OC FFU Mbale Assistant Inspector of Police (AIP) Sam Okiror. He however revealed that he died three weeks ago.
