Dr. Jose Chameleone visits Bebe Cool at Nsambya Hospital. Related:
Musician Moses Ssali a.k.a Bebe Cool yesterday underwent further surgery, the second time in 24 hours, following a gush of blood from gunshot wounds in his left thigh.
Ms Zuena Kirema, the artiste’s wife, said last evening that the bleeding worsened around 11a.m. and doctors at Nsambya Hospital worked on him in the theatre for four hours. “I don’t know the kind of surgery they did,” she said, offering that her husband’s condition was stabilising.
On Saturday, doctors removed a bullet from Bebe’s thigh, several hours after a Policeman allegedly shot him – and three others - at a popular city hangout, following a yet-to-be explained scuffle.
Police arrested SPC Alfred Achikan immediately after the shooting on Friday night and are holding him at Jinja Road Police Station as a prime suspect.
Nsambya Hospital Medical Superintendent, Dr Martin Nsubuga, said he was yet to get an update on the artiste’s condition but he could have been wheeled back to the theatre for “dressing of the wounds, which are deep”.
The other victims of the shooting were recovering well.
Bebe’s shooting, which has evoked sympathy and guarded criticism alike, has brought to the fore debate on the conduct of our music celebrities and apparently trigger-happy security men. Other top musicians, in various accounts offered yesterday, asked government to carry thorough investigations and punish whoever was on the wrong, provoking the night shooting.

As a person, I feel bad for what he is going through. My thoughts are with his family through this moving period. But I don’t know how the fighting started and I don’t know who was in the wrong so I can’t judge anybody. However, some action should be taken because you don’t just shoot at people like that. The culprit must be penalised.

I can’t tell who is wrong because I don’t know what happened but of course the policeman was wrong to just shoot at unarmed person like that. But this ego thing in artistes should also stop because fighting is not what the fans want - they want good music. The good thing is that our brother Bebe Cool is still alive.

It’s hard to tell who was in the wrong when you weren’t there. But since Bebe Cool was not armed, it was extremely ruthless to shoot at him, not only once and not only twice but several times. That policeman should know that there are several ways of dealing with a stubborn person professionally without releasing a bullet and you still win.

I don’t know what exactly happened between Bebe Cool and the policeman. But I guess there was an exchange of words and I blame Bebe Cool for forgetting that of the two he was the celebrity and even ‘bigger.’ If Bebe Cool lost his legs, it wouldn’t only be his family disappointed but his fans too and everybody would be saying, ‘he could have avoided it.’

Policemen and other security people want to show authority. Everyone knows that policemen think people despise them and so they always try to show some power that they have, guns inclusive. It’s unnecessary. When they find a person like Bebe Cool who has a short temper of course, the outcome is a fight.
