A source stated that:
“The issue started when the landlord warned the tenant not to put on a generator in the compound again. But on the said day this ugly incident occurred, the generator was not on, and the landlord came out with a gun and shot the generator then waited for his tenant to come back and shot him in the leg too.
The injured tenant is currently at UBTH, while the landlord is at Uqbowo police station.”
