By the time of filing this story, police were yet to issue an official statement. However, police\u2019s Chief Political Commissar, Mr Asan Kasingye urged bus operators to always check every passenger and good before embarking on a journey.<\/p>\n

\u201cBus operators, please don\u2019t relax. Check every passenger and their goods before embarking,\u201d Assistant Inspector General of Police (AIGP) Asan Kasingye tweeted moments after the explosion was reported.<\/p>\n

Photos an videos shared on social media showed a man’s head leaning against a shuttered window, with reports indicating that he was one of the victims of the explosion.<\/p>\n

Investigators said a 20-year-old woman was killed and three others injured in a blast at a popular roadside eatery in northern Kampala on Saturday evening.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
