Oweyesigre also revealed how Pallaso has resisted arrest by thumping one of the security officers and disappeared with handcuffs on his left hand.
“Our officers tried to humbly arrest him and have him at least make a statement at the station but he instead replied by scuffing one of our officers and tearing his uniform,” Oweyesigire added.
The self-proclaimed ‘King of the east’ is now wanted after arresting his brother, a one Kasozi Henry, who was part of the unruly gang last night.
“Therefore, we are looking for him, after arresting his so-called brother, Henry Kasozi,” ascertained the Police spokesperson.

“It’s not the first time he is disrespectful to the security. He is now supposed to answer on cases of beating-up a national security personnel, forcefully rejecting arrest and escaping with Police property of handcuffs,” Luke concluded.
