The Ugandan Police have announced a reward of Shs20 million for any member of the public providing information leading to the arrest of the suspected gunmen in response to the recent attack on Pastor Aloysius Bugingo, the founder of House of Prayer Ministries International, where his bodyguard was killed.
The incident occurred around 9 pm on January 2, 2024, when unknown gunmen allegedly attacked Pastor Bugingo at Bawalakata Junction along National Housing Road in Rubaga Division, Kampala. The attackers sprayed his car with bullets, resulting in the death of his bodyguard, Corporal Richard Muhumuza, who was attached to the Special Forces Command (SFC).
