Police have raided yet another mosque in Kampala, arresting an unspecified number of Muslims that were conducting prayers last night.

Police officers according to unconfirmed reports, stormed the Kiwatule Mosque on Mbogo road, and arrested Muslims that were holding Ishaa prayers last night.

Police were yet to respond to our requests for comments on the reasons for the raid.

Our reporter at the Mosque says by 10am this morning, police officers were still guarding the mosque, with two patrol trucks and a motorbike parked at the entry.

The officers at the scene declined to comment on the development and also denied reporters entry or permission to take photos, although we managed to stealthily take a few.

This comes only days after police raided Nakasero Mosque in Kampala.

The Inspector General of Police Gen Kale Kayihura revealed that the Tuesday raid at the Mosque was in search of clues to the gruesome murder of Sheikh Sulaiman Kiggundu who was gunned down November 26 at Masanafu Trading Centre in Rubaga Division, Kampala.

One person was arrested according to the IGP and a number of weapons recovered from the Mosque.
