Police and army officers in Uganda have arrested at least six people in Nabweru in central Wakiso district, who were allegedly found in possession of improvised explosives intended for use during anti-government protests in Kampala.
“These were to be used today in the city by those planning to paint it red,” the Defence spokesperson, Brig Felix Kulayigye, tweeted on Monday morning.
