The Kampala Metropolitan police deputy spokesperson Luke Owoyesigyire says it is alleged, that , while Kagolo was returning from the village after his brother’s burial, he hurriedly entered the late’s home which was being guarded by LDU personnel after he suspected that some people were following him and he knocked the gate with his motor vehicle while gaining entrance . 

Owoyesigyire says a disagreement between the LDU personnel ensued and police are now studying circumstances that led to the shooting.

He says Kagolo was first rushed to St Joseph Hospital Wakiso where he succumbed to the injuries and his body is yet to be taken to the city mortuary.

Owoyesigyire says the shooter identified as Mamuli Rashid and his colleague have been arrested.
