Shocking!! Violent Policeman Who Slapped Female Attendant In Kyanja Walks Free—No Charges, No Shame – The Dirt Behind His Strong Protection

Ugandans are seething with rage after Assistant Superintendent of Police (ASP) Clive Nsiima Barigye, caught on camera viciously slapping a female fuel station worker, was released from custody without facing a single charge.

Yes, you read that right. A police officer—filmed, clearly identified, visibly drunk, and full of arrogant entitlement—assaulted a woman on duty, then walked free as if nothing happened. No accountability. No justice. Just silence.

Drunk. Abusive. Armed. Untouchable.

The shocking assault happened at a Shell fuel station in Kyanja, Kampala, where Clive—serving under the Uganda Police’s Counter Terrorism Directorate—decided to make a scene over a measly Shs30,000 unpaid fuel bill.

In the now-viral CCTV footage, Clive, dressed in plain clothes and clearly intoxicated, launches into a rage, belittling the female cashier before hitting her across the face twice.

“I am parking; have you ever driven such a car?” he sneered. “She’s disturbing me over Shs30,000. Do you think I can run away with Shs100,000? I can slap you even with these cameras here and tomorrow we go to court.”

That one line alone—a confession of impunity in real time—should have sealed the case.

But in Uganda, where power shields the wicked, Clive was instead protected. After public outrage forced police to detain him temporarily, he was quietly released by Wednesday afternoon. No charges. No trial. No explanation.

Initially, the police tried to play hero. Spokesperson Kituuma Rusoke posted on X, “I hereby confirm that he has been arrested.” The Director of Criminal Investigations, AIGP Tom Magambo, chimed in, saying, “My colleagues and I condemn such isolated behaviour. Be assured that an internal investigation is ongoing to guide in further action.”

Empty words. Just PR stunts. Behind closed doors, the system that protects men like Clive kicked into action.

And when the public demanded answers about his release? Radio silence. Not a single official dared comment.

This Isn’t His First Time—It’s a Pattern

Following the viral video, Ugandans flooded social media with stories about Clive’s long and violent track record. What emerged is a chilling picture of a man who has terrorised people for years—shielded every time by rank, connections, and his royal lineage.

Clive reportedly hails from the Ankole royal family, a privilege he’s weaponised again and again.

• During the COVID-19 lockdown, he opened fire at revellers in Ntinda’s Birunga Bar, injuring several. He was arrested—then released in under six hours.
• In a separate incident, he pulled a gun on Buganda Prince David Wasajja, accusing the prince of blocking his car. Nothing happened.
• While posted in Hoima, Clive was linked to a hit-and-run that injured a pregnant woman and three others. The victims vanished. So did justice.
• In bars across Kampala, he’s known for drinking heavily while armed, often waving his pistol around like a badge of terror. In one recent event, he tried to force his car into a liquor shop in Ntinda and had to be disarmed by police.

And yet, he’s still a serving officer. Why?

The Dirty Network Behind His Protection

Sources say the only reason Clive was even arrested this time was because the woman he attacked has powerful connections—she’s reportedly the granddaughter of Christine, the former personal assistant to ex–IGP Gen. Kale Kayihura. Without that, this incident might never have even made the news.

But even Christine’s influence wasn’t enough to keep him in custody.

Insiders claim Clive’s quick release was orchestrated by high-ranking UPDF generals, loyal to his royal family in Ankole. That’s how power works in Uganda—connections over consequences.

Ugandans Are Sick of This

This case has ripped open the festering wound of Uganda’s two-faced justice system—where rogue officers commit crimes with zero fear of punishment, while ordinary citizens are jailed for far less.

The public is furious. People aren’t just angry about Clive—they’re fed up with a system that consistently shields abusers in uniform.

“He said it himself—‘I can slap you even with these cameras’—and now we know why,” one user posted. “He’s untouchable.”

Another wrote, “This country is finished. Imagine if there were no cameras—what else has he done that we haven’t seen?”

What Will It Take?

How many more women need to be slapped, beaten, or worse before this country says enough is enough?

How many officers like Clive are still out there—drunk, armed, dangerous, and protected?

If slapping a woman on camera isn’t enough to get a police officer prosecuted, then what hope is there for the rest of us?
