Kyadondo East MP Robert Sentamus (Bobi Wine) driver, Kawuma Yasin, has been killed after chaos erupted in Arua Municipality on the last day of by-election campaigns.
The incident happened after Kasiano Wadri supporters clashed with NRM candidate supporters.

The legislator posted a graphic image of his dead driver on Twitter saying: "Police has shot my driver dead thinking they’ve shot at me. My hotel is now cordoned off by police and SFC"
