Police has charged a total of 40 suspects, including Member of Parliament Hon. Matovu Charles (Busiro South), with inciting violence following the return of the National Unity Platform NUP party president, Hon Robert Kyagulanyi yesterday.

The suspects were arrested on Thursday, 5th October 2023, after a security operation was successfully carried out and concluded peacefully.

Various items intended for use in processions, such as red berets, handheld megaphone speakers, and white and red T-shirts branded "Kunga Uganda," were recovered and exhibited.

"Joint deployments consisting of both overt and covert officers were strategically positioned, and snap checkpoints were established on all roads leading to Entebbe and along Gayaza road," says Patrick Onyango the KMP spokesperson.

"Relevant statements were taken, and all 40 arrested suspects underwent fingerprinting and profiling. These suspects will face charges in court as operations continue," Onyango emphasised.
