“The attackers came from behind in a group of about 7, who seemed to be walking to different directions and didn’t seem to be together. However, as I jumped on aboda, one of them hit me hard with a blow on my cheek, before I could find out what was going on, another hit me in the back of my head with a suspected iron bar cracking my head. I don’t remember what followed next, I only woke-up to realize a certain good samaritan carrying me into Nakasero mosque, where they tried to give me first aide before they rushed me to Kibuli hospital,” he narrated.
