“No attack happened,” Besigye’s spokesperson claims

Kizza Besigye’s aides have clashed over an alleged attack on the Former Forum for Democratic Change (FDC) president in Gulu.

Besigye was in Boma Grounds, Gulu as chief guest during a thanksgiving prayers by the Leader of Minority in Parliament Betty Aol Ocan on Saturday, Watchdog reports.

“I was once again in Gulu on Saturday when Justine Oboi Simple Man, an LC5 councilor from the municipality led a group of hooligans to where the leader of the minority in Parliament was holding thanks giving match,” Nyanjura, Besigye’s right-hand person shared on Facebook.

About the attack, she said “This group came shouting ‘people power’ our power’ and rising fists on an FDC function. These hooligans were largely ignored. In order to get attention, they started moving towards the people’s President while shouting People power as loud as they could claim they had his message from DP president Norbert Mao.”

However, Ronald Muhinda, Besigye’s spokesperson said he did not see any attack since he was in the same event.
