Security officials have Thursday evening led a team of journalists to a tour in the attacked Omusinga Charles Wesley Mumbere’s palace in Muyenga, Nyakabingo in Kasese District.
The operation was led by the Assistant Inspector General of Police (AIGP) Andrew Felix Kaweesi who doubles as the force’s publicist.
The palace was Sunday raided by joint security officials from the Police and UPDF to flush out Kirumira Mutima worriors (royal guards) who had retreated there after clashes that left scores dead.
The operation also led to the arrest of the Rwenzururu King, Omusinga Charles Wesley Mumbere who was detained at Nalufeenya Police station before being charged with murder.
