Kampala – Uganda.
Police in Nansana and Nagalama are investigating two separate incidents that have left residents concerned about rising insecurity, one involving a fatal shooting and another involving the alleged defilement of two minors.
Police in Nansana are holding a security guard following the shooting death of Mpereza Immaculate, a 25‑year‑old bar waitress and resident of Nansana West B.
The suspect, Kimonyo Vincent, aged 53, is a security guard reportedly attached to New Securiko. According to investigators, the circumstances leading to the shooting are still unclear. Detectives are gathering witness statements and examining the firearm believed to have been used in the incident. Police say more details will be released as the investigation progresses.
In a separate case, police in Nagalama have arrested two boda boda riders accused of defiling two minors aged 13 and 15.
Police spokesperson SP Kawala Recheal identified the suspects as Ssentongo Ali (27) and Nsubuga Shafic (25). The two are alleged to have lured and sexually abused the girls, an offence that carries severe penalties under Ugandan law.
The victims are receiving care and support, while the suspects remain in custody as the case file is prepared for submission to the Director of Public Prosecutions.
Both incidents have sparked concern among residents, who are calling for stronger community vigilance and better protection of vulnerable groups. Police have urged the public to remain calm and allow investigations to take their course, assuring residents that they are committed to ensuring justice is served.
