The Inspector General of Police -IGP Martins Okoth Ochola has labeled the ending 2022 as one of the most challenging years ever in terms of policing and public safety.
In a Christmas and New year’s message read by the Police Spokesperson Fred Enanga at Naguru today, Ochola says that among the challenges faced this year include the senseless attacks by the rebel groups of Allied Democratic Force -ADF and the Uganda Coalition For Change -UCFC on police units and personnel in which some of the officers lost their lives and others were seriously injured on the line of duty of protecting the community.
He says that other violent crimes along Kampala Northern by-pass of car vandalism, vandalism of electricity and other utility infrastructure and the traditional crimes of aggravation like armed robberies and murders as Enanga explain.
Ochola however says that despite the challenges, they have registered achievements like restoring sanity along Kampala Northern, dismantled criminal elements networks in the greater Kampala suburbs of Nansana, Kyebando, Kyengera, Namungoona, Katwe, Kisenyi as well as in Mbarara and Fort Portal.
The IGP is also happy that they disrupted efforts by ADF to reconstitute and establish operational cells in Lukaya, Butambala and most recently in Matugga and Maganjo where several suspects were arrested including the ADF leader in Central region Abdullah Musa Kabanda alias Mogo and an assortment of exhibits inform of suicide bombs, riffles, manmade explosives and rounds of ammunition were recovered.
