State House Breaks Silence As Man Nearly Loses Wife Due To Museveni’s Traffic Blockades

Following a viral story of a man who was roughed and beaten up by the Special Forces Commandos as he rushed home to take his wife who was in labor to hospital, State House has opened up and revealed that they’re investigating this scenario and urged the public to provide information leading to the same.

This comes at the heels of several complaints about the blocking of busy roads by SFC whenever the president is to use certain roads in Uganda. Despite the president having a right of way, it had become inconvenient when roads are closed for over 2 hours awaiting the president’s motorcade.

My letter to @MODVA_UPDF – SFC.

A few months ago, as the president’s (@KagutaMuseveni ) convoy passed through town, you stopped all vehicles and motorists—standard procedure. But among the boda men held up that day was my brother. He was rushing home after his pregnant wife…

Reports have been swirling online and from unheard voices where several Ugandans being rushed to hospitals have been held up in traffic jam and eventually die, others missed flights among other inconveniences which has been attributed to the SFC soldiers who even rough up those who try to cross through the blockades.

According to a statement released by the SFC, State house has contacted Mr. Agaba who raised the inconvenience where his brother rushing home to take his wife to hospital was roughed up as he tried to snail through the traffic blockade by SFC. He was instead beaten and detained and by the time he reached home, the situation was tense, the wife is alive but the baby died.
