Police in Kampala have arrested a driver they say was involved in a deadly crash at Namulanda on Entebbe Road that killed two journalists working with Next Media and left another seriously injured. Watchdog Uganda reported that the suspect, identified as Kigozi John Baptist, was taken into custody in a joint inter-agency operation. The article says police are holding him pending court appearance on charges related to the incident.

According to the police update cited by Watchdog Uganda, the crash happened on the stretch near Namulanda and led to the deaths of two Next Media journalists, while a third journalist suffered serious injuries. The publication did not name the victims. Police also said they would provide further updates as the investigation and legal process continue.

The case has drawn attention because it involves media workers and a fatal road incident on one of Uganda’s busy transport corridors. In general, crashes on major roads such as the Entebbe route often prompt police investigations into driver conduct, vehicle conditions and road safety, though the specific cause of this crash was not detailed in the source material.
