In the running battles that ensued with police, tear gas was used to disperse crowds.
Joyce Nakanwagi, a businesswoman from Nakawuka, had just arrived in the city centre. “On my way to downtown Owino Market to buy clothes to restock my shop, chaos ensued.
I saw people running and as I tried to find out what was happening, police started firing tear gas. I was immediately affected by its sting and could not stop rubbing my eyes. However, the more I rubbed, the more they hurt. Thankfully, I boarded a taxi back to Nakawuka. I managed to get some water and after washing my face, I felt better.
