A Video circulating on social media has shown a man driving a white Double Cabin Pick-Up escaping from a group of enraged mourners at the burial of the late Hon. Matovu Charles, the former Member of Parliament for Busiro South in Kungu Lutale along Nakawuka road on Sunday, 25th October, 2026.
In the video, voices can be heard alluding to the man in the Double Cabin Pick-Up as a Patriotic League of Uganda operative.
However, while addressing the media today, Monday, 26th October, 2026, the Police Spokesperson, ACP Kituuma Rusoke identifies the individual as Hon. Kinobere Herbert, the Member of Parliament for Kibuku County.
Kituuma says Police in Entebbe Division, under Kampala Metropolitan Police South, are now investigating the attack where Hon. Kinobere and other NRM-leaning mourners were chased.
He says a group of NUP political activists allegedly opposed to the presence of NRM supporters attacked the mourners and damaged Hon. Kinobere’s car, including deflating its tyres. Hon. Kinobere reportedly had to escape from the scene to avoid harm.
Police intervened, secured the attacked mourners, including those who had sought refuge, and arrested 20 suspects, who are detained at Entebbe Police Station pending investigations.
“We urge the public to respect mourners regardless of political affiliation and refrain from violence, intimidation and destruction of property,” says Kituuma.
