Former state minister for information technology Nyombi Thembo today explained that the Omusinga Wesley Charles Mumbere was not arrested but rather captured from his palace.
According to a police report, there had been a vain phone call discussion where President Museveni tried to order his royal guards to put down their weapons before retaliation from the UPDF officers occurred.
While in a discussion regarding the Kasese clashes today on NBS television, Nyombi said the government cannot produce an accountability of the lives lost.
Atkins Katusabe MP from Kasese also disapproved reports that the president failed to negotiate with Mumbere in his phone call.
‘’The King had considered negotiating and finding a safe way out of the palace, we were inside the palace finalising the process,’’ Katusabe said
Katusabe also revealed that by the time the king was picked from his throne , she was with him in the palace and police did not rescue him but instead captured him and beat him.
