Police this week arrested four suspects in connection with the failed attack on Gen. Katumba Wamala where his daughter and driver were left lifeless.

In his first address on Thursday, Deputy IGP Maj Gen Paul Lokech said they killed one suspect Hussein Wahab Lubwama aka Master after he resisted arrest.

Again yesterday, three more suspects in the attempted assassination of Gen Katumba Wamala were shot dead in Kanyogoga, Namuwongo in Makindye Division, Kampala in an operation led by the Crime Intelligence Director, Christopher Ddamulira.

He said suspects were found in their room but they resisted arrest prompting the security operative to shoot them dead. Two SMG guns and a pistol were recovered from one of the rooms of the dead suspects.

According to Lokech, the group is linked to the Allied Democratic Forces (ADF) rebels based in DR Congo and the gang that is suspected to be behind recent assassinations of prominent people in the city. He said the recovered guns were used in the murder of AIGP Andrew Felix Kaweesi. 

Several Ugandans have given their take on the unfolding developments;

Some people seem to know the real people who shot at Katumba, to the extent they reject or dismiss any suspect arrested or killed by the police..why can't these people help the police identify the real suspect they want arrested or killed instead of those claimed by the police?!

Dear Kampala’s criminal, a combination of Paul Lokech and Damulira Serunjogi is bad news for you; I would advise you to postpone your criminal activities: 3 more Katumba assassination suspects shot dead. Weapons recovered | The New Vision:https://t.co/ZWii6qcMzi

So the Katumba assasins used the same guns that were used in the Kiggundu and Kaweesi attacks? And one of them directed the police to those guns but then after was shot dead. Something doesn't add up.

Damned if U do and damned if U don't. The D.IGP & team deliver a major breakthrough in tracking killers of Gen Katumba's daughter n Driver but u now have the "but wait" people. We shd learn to appreciate the good works of others instead of looking for an excuse not to. @skaheru
