Police deploy at Kisekka Market
POLICE
HAVE SEALED OFF KISEKKA MARKET AND CLOSED THE USUALLY BUSY PLACE
FOLLOWING A DEMONSTRATION OVER ERIAS LUKWAGO’S IMPEACHMENT.
Police
led by Kampala Metropolitan operations chief, Daniel Omala, said they
closed the market because a group throwing stones at police was hiding
there.
“This
place is becoming a planning centre for the wrong people. We have to
close it until the traders bring out those staging demonstrations,”
Omala said.
Omala
asked the leaders at Kisekka Market to bring to book hooligans who throw
stones at police whenever they are enforcing law and order in the area.
After
running battles between the police and traders that lasted almost for
four hours, Omala ordered his men to seal off the market.
In the events of things, police was seen ordering traders to vacate the market.
Police fired teargas and live bullets to disperse the traders forcing them to abandon the market.
