Senior superintendent of police (SSP) Samuel Bamuzibire, a police officer described by many Dr Kizza Besigye activists as a tormentor, has succumbed to Covid19.
SSP Bamuzibire, the Kampala Metropolitan 999 Patrol commander, passed on at Nsambya Hospital after spending three days in the Intensive Care Unit (ICU).
When he served as the Kampala Field Force Unit commander in 2016, Bamuzibire brutalized Besigye and his supporters at Najjanankumbi.
Two years later, a police disciplinary court found Bamuzibire not guilty of brutality against Besigye and his supporters.
But the Court’s chairman Denis Odongpiny found Bamuzibire’s accomplices, including SSP Andrew Kaggwa, ASP Patrick Muhumuza and SP Moses Nanoka guilty of unlawful, excessive and unnecessary use of force and authority, and demoted them in rank.
