Former Presidential candidate, Kizza Besigye has blamed ‘overzealous’ police officers for blocking him from attending slain Assistant Inspectoer General of Police, Andrew Felix Kaweesi’s requiem mass.
Besigye who was traveling in his personal car to the service at Lubaga Cathedral in Kampala was rurned away by police officers who did not give a reason why the former Forum of r Democratic Change (FDC) party boss was blocked.
“Unfortunate indeed! I put it on overzealous young officers worried about their careers,” Besigye tweeted hours after he had been blocked.
The former presidential candidate who had run-ins with the slain officer during the latter’s time as Operations head, praised Kaweesi as a man of good qualities.
“I had come to interact with Felix Kaweesi on many occasion and although these occasions may not have been happy moments for me, I got to realise that I was dealing with a person with good qualities. So I am personally sad of what has happened and the way it happened,” he said on Friday.
Kaweesi, his bodyguard and driver were shot dead by unknown gunmen riding on motorcycles on Friday morning.
