IBANDA – The Deputy Resident Commissioner Ibanda District, Mr Seif Katabazi, was on Sunday evening beaten up by one of the police officers deployed to implement curfew.
Mr Katabazi who was posted to Ibanda District in January 2021, said he was at his home located along Jubilee Street in Kagongo division in Ibanda municipality when he heard people making a lot of noise at around 7pm and when he moved out to see what was happening, he was not spared.
“I questioned one of the officers and he told me that they were telling people to close shops and they were refusing. I told them not to use force but rather allow me to talk to the people to close, but as I was still supervising locals closing their shops, another police group came and one police officer who is yet to be identified started clobbering me without questioning,” he narrated.
