Africa-Press – Uganda. <\/strong><\/span>President Museveni on Monday vowed to punish the killers of outspoken blogger Ibrahim Tusubira alias Jjaja Iculi, as police confirmed taking in three people including the deceased\u2019s driver to aid investigations.<\/p>\n

\u201cI condemn and treat with contempt the killing of this Ugandan by some pigs,\u201d President Museveni said.<\/p>\n

Iculi, a diehard ruling National Resistance Movement (NRM) party ideologue was brutally silenced with multiple pistol gunshots on May 6.<\/p>\n

According to Museveni, \u201cit is pigs that believe in using guns against unarmed opponents as NRM enjoys defeating unarmed opponents with counter-arguments.”<\/p>\n

\u201cKilling critics shows that your position is false and you cannot out-argue an opponent. Why kill him if he is wrong and you are right?\u201d he noted.<\/p>\n

‘Jjaja Iculi’:<\/b>Who was Isma Olaxess in the public eye?<\/p>\n

Iculi\u2019s fatal shooting joined a long list of unresolved murders in Uganda since 1986. But on Monday, President Museveni singled out few recent cases of deadly criminality that the State is following up.<\/p>\n

\u201cDo you remember the Bijambiya in Masaka? Most of those suspected killers are in the courts of law today. Do you remember the Kiddawalime group? Most of them are either dead or in prison. Kiddawalime himself was among the dead.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cKillers are fake thinkers. They stand on false positions. Anyway, I can assure Ugandans that this criminal will be traced and punished,\u201d the Ugandan leader emphasized in a tweet.<\/p>\n

He added: \u201cThe NRM, NRA, FRONASA and UPDF only kill people in combat. We never use assassination or killing captives or prisoners.\u201d<\/p>\n

President Museveni disclosed that the State House comptroller will deliver ‘mataaba\u2019 to the family of the slain self-proclaimed government-apologist.<\/p>\n

“We stand with you and we shall punish the killer,” he concluded.<\/p>\n

Meantime, police spokesperson Fred Enanga informed journalists that three people are in custody as a complex probe widened into Iculi\u2019s heinous murder.<\/p>\n

\u201cOutside the driver, we also have two other suspects that have been arrested. We have three people whom we are interviewing for now. The driver is still in our custody helping out with certain lines of inquiry,\u201d Enanga said in Kampala on May 8, a day after Iculi was buried in Mukono District.<\/p>\n
