Uganda President Yoweri Museveni has vowed to capture “some pigs” behind the killing of blogger, Ibrahim Tusubira, aka Isma Ichuli, arguing that executions or assassinations don’t solve political questions.
According to the President, some actions are of “fake thinkers” who cannot stand to argue with an opponent.
“I condemn and treat with contempt the killing of this Ugandan by some pigs. It is pigs that believe in using guns against unarmed opponents. NRM enjoys defeating unarmed opponents with counter-arguments. Killing critics shows that your position is false and you cannot out- argue an opponent. Why kill him if he is wrong and you are right? Killers are fake thinkers. They stand on false positions,” the President said in a tweet on Monday, 08 May 2023.
While sending his condolence to the family through State House Comptroller, Museveni promised to stand with the family and punish the killer.
Preliminary reports from Ugandan police indicated that an unidentified gunman with an SMG riffle opened fire on the vehicle in which the blogger was seated in the passenger seat.
The deceased was a chairperson of the Uganda Bloggers Association.
