Kampala, Uganda | NOW THEN DIGITAL — Gunmen targeted Pastor Aloysius Bugingo in a recent shooting in Kampala, resulting in the death of his bodyguard, Richard Muhumuza. The assailants, riding a motorcycle, opened fire on Bugingo’s vehicle during a night attack in Namungona, Zone 2, Kasubi, Rubaga Division, at Bwalakata Junction along National Housing Road.

Pastor Bugingo attacked

The incident adds to a series of similar assaults on high-profile individuals in Uganda’s capital. The attack occurred around 9 pm on January 2, with the assailants quickly fleeing the scene after firing on Pastor Bugingo’s vehicle. Despite sustaining injuries, Bugingo managed to drive the vehicle to Mulago Hospital. Unfortunately, Muhumuza succumbed to the assault and was declared dead upon arrival at the hospital.

Police are actively investigating the incident, noting that the crime scene had been tampered with. Kampala Metropolitan deputy police spokesperson Luke Owoyesigyire stated that a comprehensive investigation is underway, including a review of CCTV footage to identify the assailants.

As of midmorning Wednesday, Pastor Bugingo was reported to be “well” but nursing a “slight wound on his left shoulder.” Gen Muhoozi Kainerugaba, the first son and a friend of Bugingo, provided the update, mentioning that he had spoken to the pastor. Eyewitness statements have been recorded, and the deceased’s body has been taken to the City Mortuary at Mulago for a thorough postmortem examination, as revealed by Owoyesigyire earlier.
