Following numerous public outcry of the ongoing night security operations and arrests of resident sin different areas in the municipality, the Entebbe Deputy Resident District Commissioner (RDC) Mr Frank Kyazze, has revealed that the operations meant to curb on rising criminality will continue to ensure security in the area.
“It’s true the operations are ongoing, but they are meant to ensure peace and security in the area…. Let us allow the operations to go forward, we look out for the criminals, those who are innocent will be separated from them” he said.
Mr Kyazze, who made the remarks during a brief with media, further urged residents to desist from making false allegations against security personnel over the operations.
“You hear some people claim that they found the child entering or exiting the house, that’s impossible, the security persons who carry out those operations aren’t mad” he said.
He added, “But when youths decide to move at late hours, yet there are a lot of criminal activities taking place, you will only explain about yourself after the arrest, that’s something we have to tell you. Those who feel like they aren’t law breakers shouldn’t move at night”.
Mr Kyazze reiterated caution on night movement, since the operations will stay in place
“The operations will continue to save the residents from the criminality in the area, after we are done with reassuring security, people will resume moving freely the way they want to” he said.
