“Condolences on the death of one of our Indian People, Mr. Uttam Bhandari, killed by a Police Constable by the names of Wabwire Ivan.All these mistakes are easily traceable. In this case, for instance, some questions immediately come up,” President Yoweri Kaguta Museveni tweeted on Saturday, May 13th.
The City Indian Money Lender was shot dead from his office at Rajja Chambers by Police Constable Ivan Wabwire, attached CPS Kampala.
In his condolence message to the Indian Community, President Museveni raised six critical questions ;
●How did an off-duty Police man, access a gun?
●Did he walk away from his guard post without permission with a gun to commit crime?
●How are the guns stored in the Police?
● Is there no security at the site where the victim was?
●Why did that local security allow an armed person into the building who had no guard business there? Then, there is the question of the mental state of this Policeman.
●Did he have a history of mental instability? If he had, why hadn’t the Police leadership noticed and acted appropriately?
Wabwire later abandoned the gun at CPS Kampala before rushing into hiding.
Kampala Metropolitan police spokesperson SP Patrick Onyango said, they have launched a manhunt for the errant office.
According to President Museveni, the answers to these questions may help us to plug the gaps in the security system.
