President Museveni narrates how Zebra Ssenyange was shot

“Zebra was training boxers who then would be used by some people to attack civilians, ” the president said while addressing the nation during the end of  year 2020 address.

“Later on when I inquired,’ the president continued, I was told that zebra was doing a great job (mobilizing for NRM in Kawempe). I, however, got some information how some of the people he trained were used to cause havoc.

The security people had gone to take in zebra and do some inquiry. Unfortunately when they got to the house at around 12am they knocked and they wanted people inside to open for them but people did not open. The wife later opened.

According to the wife, zebra was in the sitting room but instead of opening he went outside through the back door. She (wife) opened for the soldiers. They entered but zebra had gone. Apparently he climbed over the fence and went somewhere, a distance away from his house. The wife and the son cooperated with the security. After climbing over the fence, zebra bumped into another security team.

He tried to fight them and that’s how they shot him twice.

The soldiers involved say when they stopped him he refused to stop. That’s how he was shot twice and died. The security officers informed me when they heard I had started involving myself.

This is all due to the reckless conduct of some opposition leaders. Everywhere I go, I’m told these people are threatening civilians. I talked to deceased Zebra Ssenyange’s wife and son. I am very sorry about this. I am going to investigate this.”
