Security has been heightened in Iganga town, following a plan by Iganga’s opposition figures to host NUP President Hon. Kyagulanyi Sentamu Robert, also known as Bobi Wine, alongside Katonga FDC President Erias Lukwago and former FDC President Dr. Kiiza Besigye.
Resident District Commissioner (RDC) for Iganga district, Wandera Sadala said that the organizers didnt get permission from the Inspector General of Police (IGP) to conduct the prayer event, scheduled for today at the municipal council primary school in Iganga town.
Wandera emphasized that security was unprepared to manage only a small gathering, as personnel were deployed to assist with security during the NAM summit and G77 plus China summit in Kampala.
Addressing the choice of venue, Wandera noted it is not due to its central location, causing inconvenience to the town’s business activities.
The Mayor of Iganga municipal council and NUP coordinator for Busoga region, Bamu Lulenzi, informed Nile Post that the prayer event had been postponed.
He cited the absence of Lukwago and Besigye, stating that the leaders intended to interact with supporters, address challenges, and participate in prayers at the municipal council primary school.
