Police say officers are on high alert to ensure a peaceful and secure environment, with special focus on mosques, crowded places, and entertainment venues.
Kampala Metropolitan Police spokesperson, Rachael Kawala, urged strict enforcement of security measures at places of worship.
“As the holy month of Ramadan comes to an end and Muslims prepare to celebrate Eid al-Fitr on 20/03/2026, security agencies have heightened security across the Kampala Metropolitan area,” she said.
She added that security checks at mosques are important in preventing crime and possible threats during the celebrations.
