A man who was allegedly beaten by the combined police and Local Defence Unit Personnel during curfew time is seeking justice after sustaining life-threatening injury on the head.
Abdullah Wakubona, a resident of Kyanja, in Nakawa Division says he was intercepted minutes to 7 pm about a week ago and beaten up by combined security teams of Field Force and Local Defence Units personnel from Kyanja Police Station led by Richard Osege, the Police station Officer – in –Charge, who were deployed to enforce night time curfew guidelines.
He alleges that during the scuffle, he also lost his earnings for the day, amounting to 200,000 Shillings.
Wakubona adds that medics at the clinic advised him to seek proper medication and a brain scan to establish the intensity of the injury, however, he says he has no money to seek advanced treatment. He now wants the officers to be pursued to clear his medical bill.
Kampala Metropolitan DeputyPolice Spokesperson, Luke Owoyesigyire declined to comment on the matter saying he is yet to be briefed about the incident but advised Wakubona to open a case file with Kira Road Police Division.
