The police also warned Kirumira that disciplinary action will be taken upon him if he continues embarrassing himself talking about his retirement in the media.

Kirumira is faced with a number of charges before the police tribunal.

The Force says it’s not proper for their own officer to announce his resignation from police through Media instead of passing through the right channels.

“Therefore, senior officer Muhammad Kirumira cannot resign from the Uganda Police Force through a Facebook message,” police spokesperson Emilian Kayima said.

Kayima said Kirumira should have used the right way to announce his retirement.

Still on Muhammad, the flying squad today raided his home in Bulenga wakiso district.

The force raided kirumira’s home to arrest him but in the attempt to resist the arrest, Muhammad locked himself inside the house.
