Kampala, Uganda | By Michael Wandati | Gunmen, whose identities remain unknown, faced public retribution after fatally shooting Daniel Bbosa, the leader of the Ndiga (sheep) clan in Buganda, on Sunday 25, February 2024 afternoon. The tragic incident occurred near his residence in Lungujja parish, Lubaga Division, Kampala.
The Buganda Kingdom website and various social media platforms shared images of Bbosa in his vehicle with registration number UAH 637X at the time of the attack.
Senior Superintendent of Police (SSP) Patrick Onyango, the spokesperson for the Kampala police, confirmed the shooting and subsequent events.
SSP Onyango stated, “True the clan head was shot and killed. Mob chased the two assailants and arrested them. They took the law into their hands and killed both of them. The gun and the motorcycle the assailants used were recovered.”
Law enforcement officers from the Old and Katwe policing divisions arrived at the scene, but their intervention was belated, as the perpetrators had already been lynched by the enraged crowd.
Despite the confirmation of the incident, the motive behind Ndiga clan leader Daniel Bbosa’s shooting remains unclear.
