President Museveni has vowed to punish the killers of outspoken blogger Ibrahim Tusubira alias Jjaja Iculi.
Iculi, a diehard ruling National Resistance Movement (NRM) party ideology was brutally silenced with multiple gunshots on May 6.
According to Museveni, it is pigs that believe in using guns against unarmed opponents as NRM enjoys defeating unarmed opponents with counter-arguments.
He noted that killing critics shows that one’s position is false and cannot out-argue an opponent.
Iculi’s fatal shooting joined a long list of unresolved murders in Uganda since 1986 but today President Museveni singled out few recent cases of deadly criminality that the State is following up.
President Museveni disclosed that the State House Comptroller will deliver ‘mataaba’ to the family of slain self-proclaimed government-apologist.
Meanwhile, Police have arrested three suspects in connection with the murder by shooting of popular social media influencer, Vlogger, and critic, Ibrahim Tusuubira also known as Isma Olaxess and Jjajja Iculi.
Addressing journalists at police headquarters in Naguru, police spokesperson, Fred Enanga confirmed that Icuuli’s attack was targeted and that the attackers fired at him at close range.
Enanga says the driver Mathias Waiswa who was travelling with the deceased on the fateful night is part of three suspects in police custody.
He adds that the investigative security team is reviewing the entire movement of the late Icuuli and his driver on Saturday from Munyonyo where he was playing football up to the spot where he was shot from.
Enanga meanwhile says the cyber security team is also considering another lead of a phone call the deceased received last that night.
