Zzimula revealed to Mubende Post that in his talk with bedridden Kikere, he told him that the men who attacked his family were believed to have been five armed with pangas and sticks.
“I talked with Mr. Kikere, he told me that the goons who attacked his family were like five in number who broke into the house from the front glass door.
“After they entered, his wife heard cracks but did not take it seriously since her children were already sleeping. After a while, the assailants reached the adults’ bedroom and started knocking with interest to enter. In fear, the man woke up to confirm his children were safe. However, upon opening the bedroom door, he was stabbed to near death.
“Kikere’s wife Nansubuga told me that when they thought that they had killed her husband they decided to vacate which confirms that they had come for someone. However, after a few minutes, the robbers went back to the house and walked away with an undisclosed amount of money and all their phones,” Mr Zzimula told Mubende Post.
