Banda Village in Mukono Face Deadly Night Attack

Mukono District – Grief and fear grip Banda village after armed assailants killed choir member Brian Kasimagwa and left several others severely injured, including sub-county vice chairperson Yafeesi Kiyaga, during a brutal overnight raid.  

The attackers, believed to be unemployed youth from neighbouring areas, targeted multiple homes in Nakisunga Sub-county. Kasimagwa's mother recounted finding her son's lifeless body after hearing commotion, while survivor Emmanuel Bbosa remains hospitalised with critical head injuries from hammer blows.  

Local leaders attribute the violence to rising unemployment and inadequate security patrols. Kampala Police spokesperson Patrick Onyango confirmed launched investigations as forensic teams examine the crime scene. The victim's body has been transferred to Mulago Hospital for autopsy.  

Residents now keep night vigils, fearing renewed attacks in the area where criminal elements reportedly conduct advance surveillance before striking. Community leaders plead for urgent security reinforcement as the village mourns Kasimagwa, a promising education student preparing to join Kyambogo University.
