The callousness of Uganda’s police force under the command of Museveni’s henchmen knows no bounds. In a shameless act that speaks volumes of the rot that has seeped into the fabric of Uganda’s ruling regime, the police disrupted a funeral service meant to honor Jolly Mugisha, the distinguished Deputy President of the National Unity Platform (NUP). Instead of showing some semblance of respect, the uniformed thugs, masquerading as law enforcers, turned the sacred ceremony into a chaotic scene of state-sponsored terror.
Bobi Wine, NUP’s president, revealed the horrifying events on his social media handles, narrating how police officers were dispatched to Nyamityobora Grounds in Mbarara where the farewell service was set to be held. The police, clearly acting on orders from the topmost mafias in Museveni’s dictatorial regime, did everything in their power to disgrace the dead and inflict more pain on the grieving family and supporters. Their shameless deployment, chasing away service providers, and issuing threats of arrest against mourners, is a testament to how Museveni’s security machinery has degenerated into a cesspool of thuggery, anarchy, and utter madness.
According to Bobi Wine, the Regional Police Commander, Wilfred Bagambaki, boldly claimed he was under orders to ensure the event would not happen. Orders from who? The all-powerful mafia godfathers running the show behind the curtains, pulling strings to humiliate, disrupt, and muzzle every semblance of opposition? Such cowardice only exposes the brutal nature of the regime—a regime that cannot stand to see unity even in death, a regime so obsessed with control that they would even stoop to disrupting a farewell service.
This is not just an attack on NUP; it’s a direct slap in the face of decency, humanity, and justice. To block a peaceful gathering in honor of the deceased is not only petty and cruel—it is vile beyond imagination. These goons in uniform, with their weapons pointed at innocent mourners, are a stain on Uganda’s history, an ugly reminder that Museveni’s government has turned its security apparatus into a personal mafia empire. They aren’t protecting the public; they’re a disgraceful bunch of errand boys for a failing dictator and his cronies.
What kind of cowardice is this, Museveni? Are you so terrified of people gathering peacefully to say goodbye to their own that you must deploy your attack dogs to bark and bite at the dead? How spineless and pathetic can you be? Does Mugisha’s soul scare you even when she lies silent in a coffin? It seems your lust for power has rendered you incapable of even the smallest gestures of decency. This police action is nothing but a clear sign of desperation. Museveni and his army of bootlickers have realized that even in death, their grip is slipping, and the people are no longer cowed by their dirty tactics. So they resort to bullying, deploying armed thugs to disrupt a funeral and tarnish what should have been a moment of peace and solemnity.
What happened today is not just an incident of police brutality—it is a symbol of how far the rot goes in this regime. It shows the world that the police in Uganda have ceased being a national force of law and order; they are now nothing more than a gang of lowlife criminals dressed in police uniforms, doing the dirty bidding of a despotic ruler. The image of a bunch of grown men in uniform chasing away caterers and intimidating mourners is not just pathetic; it’s a national disgrace.
But what Museveni and his little lapdogs fail to realize is that every act of suppression only strengthens the resolve of the people. Bobi Wine and NUP are no strangers to state repression, and every stone you throw at them, every funeral you disrupt, every tear gas canister you fire, only fuels the fire of resistance. Today, you may have disrupted Jolly Mugisha’s funeral, but you cannot kill her legacy. You cannot crush the spirit of Ugandans fed up with your dictatorial reign.
The thuggery witnessed today is a warning shot to anyone who still holds illusions that this regime is reformable. It’s not. It’s broken, rotten to the core, and utterly irredeemable. What kind of leaders hide behind police deployments to stifle grief? Only a bunch of terrified despots running a fragile house of cards that could crumble at the slightest wind.
To Bobi Wine, NUP, and all Ugandans, this is yet another sign that Museveni’s house of horror is approaching its final hour. Keep standing firm. Keep exposing these atrocities. Let the world see the true face of Museveni’s police: a bunch of cowards, disrespecting even the dead, all in the name of preserving a tyrant’s grip on power. This is not governance—it’s state-sponsored savagery!
