On reaching the rugby grounds, I was invited to speak to the people available which I did.
I then invited all my supporters and well wishers to follow me on the procession that I intended to take through the hostel areas so as to speak to them.

On our way out of the rugby grounds and in the full glare of all, my campaign team and supporters were attacked by Mitchell Hall Students that were moving with the FDC camp.
These went ahead to throw stones and bottles for reasons not known to us.
They went ahead to violently disperse everyone from the grounds.
The same group started beating everyone they found on the way putting on red shirts, ribbons, my campaign tags and anything that identified them as my camp.
They proceeded to enter my hall Nsibirwa and beat up Students who had sought refuge there.
Amidst this scuffle, my team realized that one of our members had been cut on the neck.
As my team was trying to get the student to the hospital, they were still being pelted with bottles and stones.
It is sad that as all this violence was meted on my camp, the police was present but chose non action.
The same police that has for the last three days been vigilant at arresting my campaign team, and confiscating my music systems.
I have also leant that many of my supporters going to kikumi kikumi have also been beaten and several injured on their way home.
We are collecting as many of them and rushing them to various hospitals.
The teams that are heavily guarded by the military and police are witch-hunting my people.
This is an invasion that must be stopped.
