A tense atmosphere has engulfed the area surrounding Kabale Main Stadium as security forces—both in uniform and plainclothes—moved in early this morning to close shops and evict residents without prior notice, ahead of today’s National Resistance Movement (NRM) elections.
Eyewitnesses reported a heavy security presence, with patrols intensifying and officers taking up strategic positions around the stadium. Business owners and local residents expressed shock and frustration over the abrupt operation, which they say has caused widespread disruption and financial losses.
“We were just told to vacate immediately. No explanation, no time to prepare,” said one shopkeeper who preferred anonymity for fear of reprisal.
The motive behind the sudden evictions and heightened security deployment remains unclear, as authorities have not yet issued an official statement.
The unannounced operation has stirred anxiety among residents, with many questioning the necessity and timing of the actions.
This is a developing story. More updates will be provided as further information becomes available.
