Dr Kizza Besigye and Robert Kyagulanyi Ssentamu have been blocked from holding end of year prayers at Nsambya Sharing Hall today morning.

They had called upon their supporters and Ugandans to end of year prayers under the United Forces for Change banner but were barred from accessing the venue by police.

The United Forces of Change members later on opted to start their end-of-year prayers just outside the venue in the company of their supporters who were chanting the popular NUP slogan.

In a statement by, the spokesperson Kampala Metropolitan police, Patrick Onyango the event was been blocked because of the increasing terrorism threats in the country. He explained that the security agencies have resolved that all public events in the country must be cleared by the Inspector General of Police.
