Police are holding Saul Ssimbwa, the Deputy Buvuma District Internal Security Officer-DISO for assaulting Henry Nsubuga, the New Vision correspondent for Greater Mukono.
Nsubuga had gone for an interview at the RDC’s office on Thursday morning when Ssimbwa assaulted him.
According to Nsubuga, the DISO found him seated on the verandah of the RDC, awaiting an interview, and questioned about his presence.
Initially perceiving it as a joke, Nsubuga was taken aback when Ssimbwa suddenly grabbed him by the neck.
In the ensuing struggle, Nsubuga fell to the ground, where Ssimbwa proceeded to kick him twice in the back.
Patrick Mubiru, the Buvuma Deputy RDC regretted the incident, saying that they have already contacted their superiors to ensure appropriate disciplinary measures against Ssimbwa.
Mubiru revealed that this is not the first time Ssimbwa has assaulted people seeking assistance at the RDC’s office, citing a previous incident involving an elderly woman.
Nsubuga is receiving medical attention at Buvuma Health Center IV where Julius Nyonjo, the attending medical officer, confirmed that the assault caused soft tissue injuries to Nsubuga’s back, encompassing damage to muscles, ligaments, and tendons.
