now Ofwono Ofwondo is going to say like this : this robber is People Power because of the red shirt .
Ofwono Ofwondo told the whole nation that the Police has a habit of telling lies .
Why then shall the Ofwono Nation believe the same Police that the dead men were actually robbers ?
Oh yes , there was a robber`s gun in the pool of blood . HaveN´t we heard that Bobi Wine had guns and 16 mobile phones in a Hotel room where he was arrested in Arua ?
Last week , they said that if there was 90 billion legal bu not official money on BoU chartered plane , this must be money put their by the opposition.
Ggwe Remase , you should find a job in NRM . You are also full of STUDIP theories like Ofwono Ofwono
.PP
Could it have been a set-up and staged to send a message to BK? Anyone's guess.
Secondly, what evidence do the police have to prove beyond reasonable doubt that they're robbers?
Thirdly, did the "robbers" engage the police in a gun fight to warrant the fatal shooting of the suspects?
Fourth, can I think this is a repeat of the Kayunga Nantaba saga, to conceal further truth?
The "robbers" could be accomplishes with the police so the need to swiftly put them out of action, silenced forever!
Finally, I think wearing anything red is becoming dangerous as one is summarily executed and the police court judges you a "dangerous robber" post humously.
And we are yet to witness more of these. Exactly doing what Idi Amin's did on the streets of Kampala to rid them of "Kondos" or "armed robbers" and what is the difference then?
Trigger happy murders are now on the increase in this country as more questions are asked than answered!
For it would have been better if they were not born.
who is BK actually? It would be ridiculous to assume that to be a reference to the Buganda Kingdom, wouldn't it?
