KAMPALA. President Yoweri Museveni last evening visited the scene where former Buyende District Police Commander, Muhammad Kirumira was gunned down with his female friend by unknown assailants.
The assailants shot Kirumira with the unidentified woman he was driving with in his Toyota Corona vehicle number UAJ 228V on Saturday night at around 8:00pm in Bulenga, Wakiso District along Kampala Mityana Road.
The attackers were riding on a boda boda like it has been in past attacks on high profile murders.
Hours before he was shot dead near his home in Bulenga, Wakiso District, the former Buyende DPC Muhammad Kirumira sent a congratulation message to Ugandan journalists who had just concluded election of their leaders.
Two months ago, former Arua Municipality MP Ibrahim Abiriga driving with his brother Saidi Kongo were shot dead in the same way.
