Police has revealed the identity of a UPDF Captain whom Bebe Cool, real names Moses Ssali accuses of attempting to shoot him with a pistol on the 19th June, 2022.
In a press statement released this morning, 22nd June 2022, ASP Luke Owoyesigyire, the Deputy PRO Kampala Metropolitan area, said the police have managed to trace the Captain at Gemini medical centre where he is apparently receiving treatment from.
“We also managed to trace Captain Namara whom we found at Gemini medical centre and as soon as he stabilizes, we shall be able to record his statement,” Owoyesigyire said in the statement.
He also revealed that Kira road Police is investigating the alleged altercation between Bebe Cool and Captain Namara which occurred on the 19th of June in the parking yard of Peer lounge bar in Ntinda.
Cause of the fight according to police.
“The conflict arose after a minor accident. Preliminary information gathered indicates that while trying to get parking at the bar, the officer brushed Bebe Cool’s vehicle which forced the latter to come out of the vehicle and a disagreement ensued.
We have retrieved the CCTV footage and are reviewing the contents to establish whether a gun was drawn as alleged by Bebe Cool. We are also looking into the allegation of the physical exchange between the two parties which could have attracted other friends.”
Meanwhile Bebe Cool took to his Facebook page on Sunday and narrated how he narrowly survived being shot at by a UPDF Officer and how armed UPDF soldiers raided Ntinda Police station where the officer had been detained by police.
Police now say the armed UPDF officers who raided Ntinda Police station and released the captain have been arrested and detained at Railway Police.
“We have since taken action against 6 officers who responded and further escalated the situation at Ntinda Police station. They are currently detained at Railway Police.” The police statement reads in part.
