On Wednesday, security personnel who had barricaded the road leading to Besigye's home were withdrawn together with the police trucks that had blocked the entrance to and out of his residence.
The neighbourhood, which hosts two main opposition leaders; Robert Kyagulanyi Ssentamu of the National Unity Platform and Dr Kiiza Besigye, of the Forum for Democratic Change-FDC political party, was earmarked as a security hotspot, during preparations for the swearing-in ceremony of President Yoweri Museveni, currently taking place at the Kololo Independence Grounds.
Police used teargas and live bullets to disperse the charged supporters and drove off via Namugongo-Kira-Seeta up to his home in Magere in Kasangati Town Council. Several people who had escorted Kyagulanyi followed suit.
Angume was injured by a tear gas canister fired by his colleague targeting the protesters. Luke Owoyesigire, the Deputy Spokesperson Kampala Metropolitan Police confirmed the officer was injured but didn’t divulge details.
While one group, led by one Harriet Nakazibwe, is pushing to seek redress from the court of appeal, another group of 46 people has withdrawn from the case citing misleading, politicization of the matter and lack of trust in the court system. A section of other residents is pushing for compensation.
The residents have signed a petition with a litany of accusations against Nsamba. He is accused of among others being involved in land wrangles, forging land agreements, connivance with land grabbers and damaging the, property of residents, food crops and planning illegal arrests of residents for his selfish interests.
According to eye witnesses, Kirumira who was walking in the company of several youths packed his vehicle in the middle of the road at Kalerwe and started walking on foot about ten minutes before the president's convoy arrived.
Mbabazi, who is in Charge of Kasangati Town Council and Nansana and Makindye Sabago Municipalities, notes that the con men defraud unsuspecting members of the public at the court with promises of helping to expedite their cases.
