The Territorial Police at Katwe is actively investigating a distressing incident involving Malicious Damage of Motor Vehicle No. UBK 123C, owned by Mr. Andrew Mukasa, commonly known as Bajjo. The incident occurred on the 7th of November 2023, at approximately 6:00 PM, within the Kirudu zone, Luwafu Parish, Makindye Division, in Kampala, at a car washing facility owned by Mr. Bajjo.

The assailants, led by an individual known as Mugwanya Patrick, who goes by the alias Alien Skin allegedly attempted to assault Mr. Bajjo. Fortunately, Mr. Bajjo was able to defend himself using pepper spray. During their escape, his car was damaged in a collision. A confrontation arose between the security guard, Mr. Okalebo Vincent, from Caltec Security Company, and Alien Skin’s group, which resulted in the guard discharging his firearm, causing damage to the vehicle.

Deputy Kampala Metropolitan Police Spokesman Luke Owoyesigyire says that one person has been arrested over the scuffle.

The suspect has been identified as Ibra Kabadia, a security guard, as part of our ongoing investigation into the incident of malicious damage and the shooting.

Owoyesigyire adds that Alien Skin managed to escape the scene.

“We are actively pursuing his arrest, as well as the apprehension of his associates, to hold them accountable for the damage they caused to the vehicles at the car washing facility,” he said adding that, “We strongly urge Mugwanya Patrick and his associates to refrain from using violence and creating disturbances that disrupt the peace of others.”
