A \u00a0<\/strong> third-year student of Islamic University in Uganda (IUIU) at Mbale Campus was last night knocked dead by a boda boda rider, who was attempting to evade arrest by police.<\/p>\n

The tragic accident happened near Grace Primary school, along Mbale- Bufumbo road at 9 pm in Mbale City during police\u2019s high-speed chase of a Boda Boda rider over violating curfew.<\/p>\n

However, the Officer- In- Charge of Mbale Central Police Station, Arafat Kato said the deceased got involved in an accident while running away from police officers, who were on a night operation.<\/p>\n

The deceased identified as 27-year old Ibrahim \u00a0Mudoma who was pursuing a Bachelor’s degree in Education was also riding a motorcycle on his way home in Nabweya cell in Northern City Division when the incident occurred.<\/p>\n

Rehema Katono, the IUIU Public Relations Officer confirms that the deceased was a student at the university.<\/p>\n

The deceased was carrying a relative, who also sustained severe injuries and he is currently admitted at Mbale Hospital in critical condition.<\/p>\n

Shortly after the accident, a group of boda boda riders and relatives of the deceased organized themselves and attacked Mbale Central Police Station, threatening to set it ablaze.<\/p>\n

They also carried along with them the body of the deceased, which they dumped at Mbale Central Police station in protest.<\/p>\n

During the fracas, some of the riders grabbed one of the police officers at the station and beat him up.<\/p>\n

The police officer was only rescued after colleagues intervened by firing live bullets and several of the locals were reportedly injured during the row.<\/p>\n

Later, the residents calmed down and decided to carry the body to Bumusili village in Bufumbo Sub County in Mbale District for burial.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
