“The patrollers kicked doors open and dragged the occupants out and some fell in the muddy surfaces. Several vulnerable women and a few men were injured in the process,” said Police spokesperson Fred Enanga in a statement.

The matter came to the attention of the Anti-Corruption Unit, at State House led by Col Edith Nakalema and a task team was immediately dispatched to the area.

Enanga said a total of 38 victims comprising of 31 female victims and seven males were traced, and their detailed statements have been recorded.

“The leadership of both the UPDF and Uganda Police Force, strongly condemns the outrageous and gross acts of misconduct by the officers, who instead of protecting the constitutional and civil rights of the victims, violated them with the excessive use of force,” said Enanga.

Their trial commences tomorrow Tuesday, March 7, 2020.
