Police Thursday blocked a group of people who were planning to protest the arrest of former Inspector General of Police, Gen Kale Kayihura, in Kisoro Municipality, Kisoro District.

According to police sources, the protest was being organised by a section of Kisoro District leaders.

Gen Kayihura hails from Kisoro District.

Kayihura was arrested yesterday by the UPDF at his home country Katebe Village, Kashagama sub-county Lyantonde district and airlifted to Kampala for interrogation regarding the ongoing insecurities in the country

This has not gone down well for the residents of Kisoro who say his arrest is unfair and shameful.

Police deployed at Mayor’s garden in Kisosro and took charge of the situation to make sure no demonstrations took place.

They however, advised leaders to present their grievancies amicably than taking the law into their own hands
