Police officer shoots one dead in Nsangi<\/p>\n

Kampala Metropolitan Police Deputy Spokesperson, Mr Luke Owoyesigyire, said the deployment in Kyengera is intended to ensure that there is peace and stability after there were reports of people attempting to use the incident to riot.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe DPC is in our custody and we are investigating the shooting. We want to ascertain what happened before and after the incident. No one should use this as an opportunity to riot,\u201d Assistant Superintendent of Police Owoyesigyire said.<\/p>\n

A few residents yesterday blocked feeder roads and burnt tyres in protest of the shooting.<\/p>\n

Residents accused the suspect of being harsh while carrying out operations against violators of curfew.<\/p>\n

According to the Ministry of Health guidelines on curfew to control the spread of Coronavirus, motorcyclists must stop operation at 6pm while other businesses that aren\u2019t essential have to close by 7pm until 6am.<\/p>\n

However, several members of the public violate the guidelines and operate beyond that stated time.<\/p>\n
