I'm Going to Shoot Him to Death! Gen Muhoozi Blasts Those Feeling Sorry for Kizza Besigye's Man Mugumya's Legs After Viral Videos Showing Him in Miserable State Leak

Chief of Defence Forces Gen Muhoozi Kainerugaba has sparked controversy after making a threatening statement targeting Mugumya, an associate of opposition politician Dr Kizza Besigye.

In a post on X, Muhoozi questioned why people were expressing sympathy for Mugumya, particularly over the condition of his legs, following the circulation of videos showing him in a visibly difficult state.

“People are feeling sorry for Mugumya's legs? I'm going to shoot him to death,” Muhoozi wrote.

His remarks have attracted attention because they contain a direct threat to shoot Mugumya. The statement has also raised concerns about the safety of the individual mentioned in the post.

The comments came after videos purportedly showing Mugumya in a poor physical condition circulated widely on social media, prompting reactions from people who expressed concern about his wellbeing.

Muhoozi's post has renewed public discussion about the treatment and condition of people associated with Besigye, although the circumstances surrounding Mugumya's condition have not been established in the information provided.

The threat has also drawn attention to the language used by political and military figures when speaking about individuals linked to opposition groups.

It remains unclear whether Muhoozi's statement was followed by any action or whether he intends to act on the threat.
