Despite a UK warning that terrorists are targeting crowded places, security at many crowd-pulling places had not been upgraded by last evening.
In a travel advisory posted on its website, the UK government noted that terrorists were very likely to try to carry out attacks in Uganda.
Uganda People’s Defence Force (UPDF) and Defense spokesperson, Brig Felix Kulayigye, says terror threats to Uganda are like those to other countries, including the UK, and they have ably defended the country.
While police spokesperson Fred Enanga also echoed the police chief’s earlier message urging the public to remain calm and vigilant,
The travel advisory for British citizens in Uganda, however, does not specify the target place or group plotting the attack.
Our on-the-spot checks showed that guards at many public places were unaware of the terror alert, and none had intensified either surveillance or upgraded checks.
Meanwhile, responding to the terror alert, security agencies have said that Uganda is safe.
Further, the travel advisory for British citizens in Uganda does not specify the target place or group plotting the attack.
Here at Uncovered News, we encourage the government of Uganda to cooperate with the UK government to ensure that the terror threats come to an end.
