Kira Road Police are investigating an alleged altercation between a popular artist Moses Ssali alias Bebe Cool and Captain Namara which occurred on the 19th of June in the parking yard of Peer Lounge Bar in Ntinda.
The conflict arose after a minor accident, according to ASP Luke Owoyesigyire, Deputy PRO Kampala Metropolitan Police.
Preliminary information gathered indicates that while trying to get parking at the bar, the officer brushed Bebe Cool’s vehicle which forced the latter to come out of the vehicle and a disagreement ensued.
“We have retrieved the CCTV footage and are reviewing the contents to establish whether a gun was drawn as alleged by Bebe Cool. We are also looking into the allegation of the physical exchange between the two parties which could have attracted other friends,” said Owoyesigyire.
“We have reached out to the singer and obtained his account of events. We also managed to trace Captain Namara whom we found at Gemini Medical Center and as soon as he stabilizes, we shall be able to record his statement.”
Owoyesigyire advised drivers to always be extra careful while reacting to traffic incidents as emotions can put one’s life in danger.
“We have since taken action against 6 officers who responded and further escalated the situation at Ntinda Police Station.”
They are currently detained at Railway Police.
