Police are yet to confirm whether the weapon used by city lawyer Sam Ahamya to shoot Nekeon Buruga, a private security guard was licensed.

Buruga met his death on Saturday afternoon at Kings Park Rugby Club in Kakajjo Zone in Kiira Municipality where he was on guard duties.

He was killed when Ahamya, who had left his pistol at the reception, attempted to perform Normal Safety Precautions with the magazine still intact and discharged bullets.

Police apprehended Ahamya, and recovered the pistol and bullet cartridges. This morning, Luke Owoyesigyire, the Kampala Metropolitan Deputy Police Spokesperson informed the media that they are yet to establish the legality of the firearm.

Owoyesigyire explains that the suspect is currently detained at Kira Division Police, but the file has been sent to the office of the DPP for perusal and guidance as investigations into the matter continue.
