Weapons, army uniform found in Kitatta's office

During the operation in which Kitatta's office in Natete-Wakaliga was ransacked, several members of his group were also arrested

The call comes after the leader of the association Abudallah Kitatta and about 27 others were arrested by the operatives of the Chieftaincy of Military Intelligence (CMI) over the alleged murder Case Hospital accountant Francis Ekalungar.

Addressing journalists at the party headquarters in Najjanakumbi, Kampala on Monday, the party spokesperson, Mr Ibrahim Ssemujju Nganda said members of Boda Boda 2010 have been engaging in the works of police and beating up innocent people and torturing fellow cyclists as police were watching.

He said that Gen Kayihura must resign over his dealings with a group he described as criminals.

"The Boda Boda 2010 association has been claiming to be working with police and so if the leader of the association has been arrested over suspected murder, it is an indication that police which is headed by Gen Kayihura has been protecting a murder suspect yet police was supposed to arrest him and not military. So I ask the military which arrested those goons in 2010 to also arrest Gen Kayihura," Mr Ssemujju said.
