The Ugandan police stopped a bomb attack on churches by a dangerous militant group, according to President Yoweri Museveni.
MrMuseveni wrote on X (previously known as Twitter) that the Allied Democratic Forces (ADF) were planning to put two bombs in churches in Kibibi, an area about 50 km (30 miles) away from the capital city Kampala, on Sunday.
But he said the devices were reported to the police and taken care of so they wouldn’t cause harm.
The president said that the bombs were hidden as PA systems and given as presents to pastors in the area. People told other people about what they saw.
Earlier on the same day, Mr Museveni said that Uganda’s forces had conducted air attacks on four ADF locations in the nearby Democratic Republic of Congo.
“The president said that a lot of terrorists were killed. ”
He said that the ADF who escaped are going back into Uganda and trying to do some random terrorist acts.
In June, a group of militants called ADF hurt and killed 42 people, including 37 students, in a high school in western Uganda close to the border with DR Congo.
It was one of the most deadly attacks by ADF in the country.
