Two die in Komamboga explosion
At least two people have died at a Komamboga Explosion that locked Digida Pork Joint in Kawempe Division, Kampala.
Sources say a girl only identified as Emily died on spot. Another victim, a gentleman died while transported to hospital. The scene cordoned off by police.
CP Enanga Fred, the Police Spokesman confirms the blast and says, “the Police at KMP, have responded to a serious blast which occurred on the 23.10.2021, at around 9 pm, at Digida Pork Eating Point, Komamboga, in Kawempe Division, Kampala.”
Afande Enanga, however, says, “One person has been fatally wounded, and 7 others rushed to Mulago National Referral hospital, with serious injuries.”
“The scene has been cordoned off, and our joint task teams from the bomb squad called to thoroughly document the scene, to help determine whether the explosion arose out of an intentional act or not. We ask the public to remain calm, as we establish the true circumstances of the incident,” says Enanga.
Ugandans have reacted below:
Litton Boaz Denis says, “But this is wrong information because some people confirmed some deaths.”
Winnie Abookie, “Uganda Police you are big-headed our country was warned and you just took it lightly, ooh my poor Uganda! Now you are to start arresting innocent people. Lord have mercy!”
Psalmson Apple says, “How did the 2010 explosion details end? All the suspects were pronounced innocent meaning police did nothing to get the suspects to date. We need police to be able to detect such before occurring and bringing to book the real offenders.”
Charzo Wrayce says, “I only subscribed to this police page to be mesmerized by fake PR, lies, conjecture and verbal comedy that happens.”
G.W. Bush Katende says, “Now see! Enanga, didn’t UK warn you about terror attacks? You refuted their reports as baseless! Now what are you reporting to the public? You and Museveni should get out of those offices period! Ensi yabakowa kale ate oba kuba temutegera!
Kira Kay Emma says, “Mr Enanga excellent choice of words “Eating Point”,but we all know this is a bar and besides why was it open at 21:00hrs??? The DPC, OC & Crime Intelligence bosses of Kawempe should be fired for laziness.”
Timo Thy says, “JHS yesterday your spokesperson rubbished the allegations issued by the UK government and u assured the netizens that police was under control …. Why have u taken the lives of Ugandans for granted…. Mujooga!”
Balaba Henry Bosco says, “Unfortunately, Facebook isn’t allowed in Uganda. Are you guys using VPN!? SHAME SHAME SHAME. Why don’t you talk to your boss, and Facebook is reinstated so that all people can receive what you communicate? Now that I have finished to quarrel, let me read your post.”
Basange Shafik says, “On 15th UK issued a warning that terrorist are planning to attack Uganda and Fred Enanga said it was a false warning.”
Shim Senior says, “They warned you just because of your arrogance now you see what happened! Muyige okuwuliza ababasingako like bungereza.”
Mugabe Brian says, ” Uganda Police Force, why are media houses saying two people dead and you are telling us one? Who is …
Ntegeka Ezra Emmanuel says, “But Uganda Police I thought we are still in curfew, how come that some people are breaking the Presidential Directives on COVID-19 by going to bars and eating points during curfew time….?”
Kawinto Gaston says, “Its very bad to learn on your own experience. They warn you but still you don’t learn. And understand the problem is dictatorship and failure to listen to advise. Our “”god” thinks he knows everything. But then now see. Who has suffered, just Ugandan?
