Three senior police officers were Monday convicted of neglect of duty that led to the alleged stoning of President Yoweri Museveni’s vehicle in the northwestern town of Arua last year.
The three officers are West Nile regional police commander Jonathan Musinguzi, Arua district police commander Abbas Ssenyonjo, and Robert Junena, the zonal field force unit officer.
The prosecution had told the court last week that the officers had failed to adequately deploy security which saw people in a grader intercept the President’s convoy and allegedly damage Mr Museveni’s car.
Of the six police bosses arraigned in Arua last week, the chairman of the Police Disciplinary Court Commissioner of Police Denis Odongpiny said the evidence adduced showed that the three senior officers were guilty.
