The Inspector General of Police, Martin Okoth Ochola, has condemned the senseless and violent attack on Busiika Police Station in Luweero district which left two police officers dead. 

SCP Fred Enanga, Police Spokesperson, said the attack happened on Monday, October 31, 2022, at around 7.30 pm by a group of armed assailants who shot and killed two police officers on duty, injured two others, one critically, and thereafter, robbed two police guns from them.

“The facts gathered indicate, that the assailants who were about seven in number, emerged from three different sides, two in front and one from behind, and were armed with a pistol and guns,” Enanga said. 

They shot and killed D/IP Wagaluka Alex, the in-charge CID and PC Ongol Moses, both attached to Busiika Police station. 

During the attack, the assailants injured two other police officers who included; PC Ochom Adrian and PC Odama Stephen, who remains in critical condition. 

Enanga said both injured victims were rushed to Bombo Military General Hospital for further medical treatment. 

“They also burnt several case files and attempted to burn the station. The fire was, however, successfully put off by the community at Busiika Town Council. We do applaud the efforts of all persons who responded and saved the police station,” Enanga explained. 

“The lGP has extended his deepest condolences to the family, friends, relatives and workmates of the late D/IP Wagaluka Alex and PC Ongol Moses. He further wished the two injured officers, a quick recovery. And further reiterated that there was no justification, whatsoever, for the attack and acts of violence against police officers, on duty. We do honour the deceased officers; D/IP Wagaluka Alex and PC Ongol Moses, for their ultimate sacrifice, while serving the community in Busiika, Luweero and the country at large.”

According to him, although the motive of the assailants is not yet determined, the fact that they killed, injured and robbed two guns, clearly reveals how they targeted guns, police personnel and the facility. 

The scene was cordoned off by forensic experts for thorough documentation. 

A pistol that fell as the assailants fled from the scene, was recovered and will be subjected to further ballistic examination.

“Our specialist task teams are working diligently to identify and apprehend the suspects behind the deadly attack. We shall not rest until when they are arrested and brought to book. In addition, an emergency alert and deployment of extra manpower, have taken place.”
