Tumwesigye recollected that he heard a bang during his routine operations in the area. "I immediately dashed to the scene and realized that the perimeter wall had collapsed in the road injuring two people," he said. He said that duo sustained minor injuries.
 
"The wall was for proposed apartments under construction belonging to Visare (U) Ltd and police is hunting for the owner and the engineer of the site," he said.

Tumwesigye said poorly constructed structures continue to pause a danger to people especially construction workers.
