Often controversial Pastor Martin Ssempa has claimed that he narrowly escaped death at the hands of unknown assailants after a group of six individuals in a suspicious car were circling his gate, waiting for an opportunity to strike. When he stepped outside, things took a terrifying turn as they attempted to shoot him.
Pastor Ssempa, well-known for his bold and sometimes divisive views, has shared that he has been living under constant threat, leading him to take extreme measures to protect himself. He even resorted to holing up in his house for an extended period, trying to evade these shadowy figures lurking in the background. But it seems his attackers were patient. According to Ssempa, they have been biding their time, waiting for the perfect moment to strike.
In a tweet that sparked concern and buzz, Ssempa revealed;
“Guys I survived two attempted assassinations today. I left my hideout bunker and did some critical road construction work at my home in Jungo Kasanje today.. was twice waylaid by two cars with 6 guys in it.. I narrowly survived death today..
suspect that It's either military related land grabbers or Perverts. I had to go to police and get two escorts to get me to the highway. I really need security. Meanwhile I bought a bottle of red wine to celebrate my providential escape. As we say “Genda olye enkoko yo” Don't give these guys another chance!”- he posted.
Despite the chilling encounter, Ssempa has made it clear he’s not backing down. Following the terrifying incident, he rushed to the police, who provided him with two escorts to ensure his safety while making his way to the highway. However, Ssempa isn't satisfied with this minimal protection and is urging the authorities to take his plight seriously, fearing another close call could be his last.
