At least nine people have been confirmed dead following a rash and negligence incident that happened at New Year’s Eve event at Freedom City Mall, Namasuba, along Entebbe Road.

“The Katwe Territorial Police are investigating an incident of rash and neglect that occurred at a New Year’s Eve event at the Freedom City Mall Namasuba and resulted in the deaths of nine people, including several juveniles,” Kampala Metropolitan Police Deputy spokesperson Luke Owoyesigyire said in a statement on Sunday 1st January,2023.

Owoyesigyire added that the incident occurred at midnight when the event’s MC encouraged attendees to go outside and watch the fireworks display.

“After the display ended, a stampede ensued, resulting in the instant deaths of five people and injuries to several others. Emergency responders arrived on the scene and transported the injured individuals to the hospital, where nine were confirmed dead.”

The bodies have since been transferred to City Mortuary Mulago.

“More information will be made available as it becomes available,” Owoyesigyire added.
