President Museveni has revealed that the man suspected to have plotted the Saturday double blast in Kampala sneaked out of the country and fled to Democratic Republic of Congo.
“The pig that had come from Congo to plant bombs and kill our peaceful people, it seems, has fled back to Congo after his criminal schemes were made impossible by your vigilance,” Museveni said in a statement released on Wednesday.
Two blasts went off on Saturday in Kikubamutwe in Kabalagala and another simultaneously in ,Nabweru, Nansana, Wakiso district.
Security has since placed a shs20 million bounty on two people suspected to have been behind the blasts linked to ADF in DRC.
In his statement, the president said the bomb in Kikuba-mutwe exploded prematurely before it was planted in a crowd.
“The bomb exploded before he planted it where our pork-lovers were having their legitimately earned meal and the one in Nabweru exploded in the empty house where the criminals were keeping it because the security forces were hard on the heels of those pigs.”
Museveni however said he has advised security not to panic by mounting road blocks , noting that such and other panicky measures that inconvenience huge masses of people that have nothing to do with the criminals.
“Whenever villagers were removing jiggers from their feet, they would not cut off the infested toe or foot. They would patiently locate the eye of the jigger, isolate it and remove it and burn it in the fire. We shall not tamper with this fast tempo of the human activities – cross border – of the fraternal Peoples of Uganda – Congo and East Africa in general. “
“We shall patiently remove the jiggers by perfecting the technical and human intelligence measures which have already proved to be very effective except in a few cases of lapses like in the cases of the 2 tourists and their driver, the Nyabugaando children, etc.”
Museveni laughed at ADF for thinking being in DRC was so safe for them until Uganda together with the Congo launched operation Shuja that has unsettled the terrorist group.
He vowed the operation will not stop until they are wiped out.
