Security Supervisor arrested after guard’s assault video goes viral

Police in Busoga North have arrested a private security supervisor following the circulation of a viral video showing a security guard being assaulted by two men.

The suspect, identified as Warom Joseph, a supervisor with Securex Private Security Company, is accused of assaulting Ayub Mbadi, another Securex guard deployed at Kidera Sugar Works in Buyende District.

According to police, preliminary investigations indicate that Mbadi had been apprehended by Warom after he was accused of stealing scrap materials from the sugar factory.

It was during the apprehension that the alleged assault occurred, with footage of the incident later circulating widely on social media, prompting police intervention.

Police said Warom is currently in custody and is expected to be charged with assault as investigations into the circumstances surrounding the incident continue.

The police urged individuals and private security personnel to handle allegations of wrongdoing through lawful procedures rather than resorting to violence.

Police reiterated that no individual has the right to take the law into their own hands, regardless of the allegations against a suspect.
