Kampala Metropolitan Police Spokesperson, Mr. Patrick Onyango, has confirmed a tragic incident of drowning near Busabala landing site in Makindye Division, Kampala District.
This marks the first major boat accident on Lake Victoria this year, following last year’s incidents where at least six people lost their lives in separate accidents.
According to Mr. Onyango’s statement, the three individuals drowned in the lake during the afternoon of February 8 due to a heavy storm.
“Three people have drowned today [Thursday] afternoon after the boat they were travelling in capsized near Busabala landing site,” Onyango’s statement read.
The police are likely to provide further details as investigations into the incident progress.
