““God has just given me another chance to live. There should be no fear or worries, we shall go through this by God’s grace. Do not be misled by anyone claiming that I am dead. I’m alive. This is not an old video because the bullets were fired last night and I am speaking now. I’m alive,” Bugingo said on Wednesday afternoon.

Speaking of the attack, Bugingo extended condolences to the bodyguard’s family.
“I am still alive, thank for you for praying for me, and I ask you to continue praying for me. Unfortunately, our servant Richard Muhumuza lost his life. I was able to rush to Mulago Hospital where I received treatment, and they have sent me more doctors to give me more treatment. I’m in a stable situation.”
Police had earlier said investigations into the incident had kicked off, noting that they make use of CCTV cameras around the scene of crime to aid them.
