The protestors accused security officers in the area of doing nothing as their colleagues are being killed over unknown reasons.
They held a procession from Nakiwogo Landing Site to Kitooro where they were supposed to hold a rally to find lasting solutions to the murders that have claimed the lives of about 23 in Wakiso District since May this year.
Police led by the officer in charge of Operations, Mr Willis Ndaula accused the demonstrators of holding an illegal assembly. However, the protestors agued that they got clearing from the Resident District Commissioner.
