According to ASP Luke Owoyesigyire, Deputy Spokesperson for Kampala Metropolitan Police, the attackers targeted Pastor Bugingo’s vehicle, nicknamed PRAIZ GOD, around 9:00 PM on January 2, 2024, along Namungoona, Zone 2, Kasubi, Rubaga Division, Kampala. The assailants, who remain unidentified, opened fire and made a quick escape on a motorcycle at Bwalakata Junction along National Housing Road.

Despite sustaining injuries, Pastor Bugingo managed to drive the vehicle to Mulago Hospital. Unfortunately, Muhumuza Richard, the bodyguard, did not survive the assault and was pronounced dead upon reaching the hospital.

“Pastor Bugingo is currently receiving medical treatment and is being closely monitored. Thankfully, he is out of danger,” mentioned Owoyesigyire, providing an update on the pastor’s condition.

The police promptly cordoned off the scene for investigations, and eyewitness statements were recorded. The deceased’s body has been taken to City Mortuary at Mulago for a thorough postmortem examination.

This incident adds to a series of attacks on high-profile individuals in different parts of the country.
