Joint security agencies have cordoned off the Central Business District following two bomb blasts that occurred at Kooki Towers near Kampala CPS and another at Jubilee House on Parliamentary avenue.

Areas close to the scenes of the twin bomb blasts have already been cordoned off and security forces have ordered city dwellers to leave the city center.

According to what we have gathered, most of the city dwellers are now walking back home because transport fares have been hiked with taxi operators citing the chaos in town as the reason.
