Police in Kampala on Thursday evening briefly held Maj Gen Paul Lokech after an alleged confrontation with a senior traffic police officer on Namugongo Road, Kira Municipality in Wakiso District.
Kampala Metropolitan Police spokesman Patrick Onyango told Daily Monitor on Thursday evening that Maj Gen Lokech had been taken to Central Police Station, but described the incident as minor and they are working on resolving it.
It is alleged that Maj Gen Lokech was driving on the road shoulder during the traffic jam near Agenda 2000 entertainment centre on Namugongo Road towards 7pm when he was stopped by the Regional Traffic police officer Assistant Superintendent of Police Ruth Kobutungyi.
Commissioner Kafeero drove to the scene, rescued his officer and also ordered Maj Gen Lokech into his car.
He drove the army general and ASP Kobutungyi to Central Police Station in Kampala where they were asked to reconcile.
